Squeak is an implementation of the Smalltalk programming
|
|
environment; it includes among other things:
|
|
* a rapid-turn-around Smalltalk-80 compiler,
|
|
* a caching-JIT run-time virtual machine (with full source in
|
|
Smalltalk),
|
|
* large class libraries with portable data and GUI models, and
|
|
* an integrated development environment with coding tools, GUI
|
|
construction.
|
|
|
|
Squeak was developed at Apple Labs and Walt Disney and has been ported
|
|
to a variety of computers (including most flavors of UNIX and
|
|
Windows). Compared to other Smalltalk systems, Squeak has 4 important
|
|
features:
|
|
* Portability (to Mac, Windows, WinCE, and many flavors of UNIX);
|
|
* Speed (it uses native C for compute-intensive code);
|
|
* Price (free, including all source code and the right to distribute
|
|
applications!); and
|
|
* Sophistication (full Smalltalk-80 language, libraries, and tools).
