SmallScript - the next generation of scripting languages
Speakers: Joseph Pelrine
Language: english
Documentation: http://www.smallscript.org/
Where: Saal 3
When: Day 1, 13:00
Duration: 01:00h
Description
Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby - what's the next step? SmallScript is a rich multi-paradigm dynamic language superset/dialect of Smalltalk designed by David Simmons. This new language enables modular deployment as a small, very fast, pre-emptive multi-threaded execution platform providing small components, lightweight scripting and module facilities that scale up into the traditional space occupied by classic Smalltalk. Currently running on the Windows and .NET platforms, with both Linux and Mac ports on the way, this language may give the other players quite a run for their money.
