Strongtalk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strongtalk is a Smalltalk environment with optional static typing support. Strongtalk can make some compile time checks, and offer "stronger" type-safety guarantees; this is the source of its name. It is non-commercial, though it was originally as a commercial project developed by a small start-up company called Animorphic.
Sun Microsystems released Strongtalk under the "revised" BSD license (http://code.google.com/p/strongtalk/), including the Strongtalk system image and the virtual machine. Strongtalk is by far the fastest implementation of Smalltalk[citation needed]. Strongtalk is currently available for Windows XP (other ports are in the works) and includes a basic development environment.
