Strongtalk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strongtalk is a Smalltalk environment with optional static typing support. Strongtalk can make some compile time checks. This is the source of its name. It is non-commercial now though it was originally a commercial project from a small start-up company called Animorphic.
Sun Microsystems released Strongtalk as a fully Open Source application, this includes both the Strongtalk image and the virtual machine. Strongtalk is by far the fastest implementation of Smalltalk, and could well re-vitalize the Smalltalk community. Strongtalk is currently available for Windows XP (other ports are in the works) and includes a basic development environment.
