Description:
|
The Self Group at Sun Microsystems Laboratories, Inc., and
Stanford University is pleased to announce Release 2.0 of the
experimental object-oriented exploratory programming language
Self. Release 2.0 introduces full source-level debugging of
optimized code, adaptive optimization to shorten compile
pauses, lightweight threads within Self, support for
dynamically linking foreign functions, changing programs within
Self, and the ability to run the experimental Self graphical
browser under OpenWindows.
Designed for expressive power and malleability, Self combines a
pure, prototype-based object model with uniform access to state
and behavior. Unlike other languages, Self allows objects to
inherit state and to change their patterns of inheritance
dynamically. Self's customizing compiler can generate very
efficient code compared to other dynamically-typed
object-oriented languages.
