Notes:

This is "clean slate" Smalltalk, designed from the ground up to support many interesting and powerful ideas in a coherent way.

The specific features of the language are the support of both multi-method dispatch and prototype-based objects, and support for optional typing and syntactically-abstract macros.

The run-time architecture is novel in placing the binary compiler at a primary place within the system, and a virtual machine as a secondary part of the design.

It is also culturally related to Squeak in some ways.

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
