- Little Smalltalk
Little Smalltalk is a non-standard dialect of the
Smalltalk programming language invented byTimothy Budd . It was originally described in the book: "A Little Smalltalk", Timothy Budd,Addison-Wesley , 1987, ISBN 0-201-10698-1.The Little Smalltalk system was the first Smalltalk interpreter produced outside of
Xerox PARC . Although it lacked many of the features of the original Smalltalk-80 system, it helped popularize the ideas ofobject-oriented programming ,virtual machine s, and byte-code interpreters. Timothy Budd later rewrote Little Smalltalk in Java, and distributes it as the SmallWorld system.The original releases are under a variety of licenses. They are now maintained by Danny Reinhold via the Little Smalltalk project. Recently work on a new major version has begun. This differs from earlier releases by providing support for graphical applications, a foreign function interface, and numerous integrated tools.
