Fwd: [smalltalk-research] Introducing a new Smalltalk project.

Hola gente!

Bueno, otro Smalltalk basado en el Little Smalltalk de Timothy Budd

Hi everyone,

I hope it's not frowned upon to post announcements on this forum. I'd like
to introduce a project I've been working on in my spare time for a while
now, and have made it available on GitHub more recently.

http://pgregory.github.com/tumbleweed/

The project is called Tumbleweed (for no particular reason), and is a new,
lightweight Smalltalk system, originally based on the code from Timoth A.
Budd for "A Little Smalltalk". Since forking from the original code, I've
made many significant advances to the core...

1. Replaced the object memory management, with a new (at the moment,
quite naive) mark and sweep memory manager.
2. Implemented proper meta class support.
3. Added a quite well featured FFI interface, including struct support,
and callbacks.
4. Added the basis of exception handling, entirely within the language
itself, little or no changes to the VM were necessary.
5. Many other smaller changes and improvements.

I blog semi-regularly about my work on Tumbleweed at
http://www.indigobeetle.co.uk.

The project, for some time, just floated around as and interesting little
distraction from my day job, but more recently I decided on a firmer
direction. I intend to turn Tumbleweed into a multi-media authoring
solution, for producing interactive media presentations. This is a
relatively broad space, including things like highly graphical, interactive
applications, games, menu systems, etc., anything that involves rich 2D/3D
graphics, and lots of animation and interaction.

I would welcome any feedback, and of course contributions or offers of
assistance are very welcome too. I'm especially keen to hear from anyone
with Smalltalk VM experience, or experience with the "A Little Smalltalk"
code base.

Cheers

Paul Gregory

Buenisimooo.
Tengo el libro original y es una gran fuente de inspiracion.
Habia una implementación muy completa del Little Smalltalk hace un tiempito.
