Implementations Smalltalk Languages

This category is for different versions of Smalltalk, which are considered and called different implementations. For all programming languages, significantly different versions of the language are considered different implementations. In most languages, this is an independent issue from the language's compilers/interpreters and environments. In other words, most languages can have different compilers and environments, for the same implementation. Smalltalk has no separate compilers/interpreters and environments, and never has had such. All such functions occur in, and as, a common unified, highly orthogonal system, together with the rest of the code comprising the language. To change or improve such functions, users write or 'file in' new code. Also, Smalltalk is an interpreted language, not compiled. All these Smalltalk traits are highly analogous to those of Forth (and Self), which also has implementations, not separate compilers/interpreters and environments. Due to the highly factored and extensible nature of these systems, if one alters the interpreter and/or environment significantly, this makes a new language implementation, with new Smalltalk classes or methods, or Forth words.

• GNU Smalltalk - Official Page at Smalltalk.org: very brief description, 8 links to varied resources. [Open Source, GPL]
  
• F-Script Home - Smalltalk-based pure object-oriented environment to work with Mac OS X software. Innovations: high-level model for object manipulation, powerful object browser. Developed from scratch for the Objective-C object model. Highly integrated with Cocoa, native
  
• Object Connect: Smalltalk MT - High quality development tools for Windows market: innovative, high-performance, small runtime image, fully multithreaded. Interactive development environment with no sacrifice of runtime performance and deliverable size: compact, fast, royalty-free execu
  
• GemStone/S - Smalltalk application server, integrates well with Java, CORBA, relational databases.
  
• Strongtalk - Strongly-typed, full rework of Smalltalk-80. Advanced inlining type-feedback compiler makes it far faster than other Smalltalks, optional type system makes it easier to understand. History, downloads, documents, FAQ. [Open Source, Sun]
  
• Cincom Smalltalk - Information on ObjectStudio, VisualWorks, VisualSmalltalk Enterprise; general Smalltalk information and success stories.
  
• LSW Vision-Smalltalk - A Smalltalk with deep Windows integration and a .NET interface. [Commercial]
  
• Ambrai, Inc. - Makes Ambrai Smalltalk, rapid application development platform to make new, or script extant, Mac OS X programs. Descriptions, documents, downloads, contact page.
  
• Susie - Project information: CVS, changes, downloads, mail list. [SourceForge.net]
  
• Satori - To be a superset of Smalltalk-80 with optional variable typing, to allow typechecking of variables and static binding of methods. Typechecking helps ensure type-safe code. Static binding cuts runtime expense, for more speed.
  
• Minimal: Tiny Smalltalk - Download for VSTa operating system, tar file.
  
• #Smalltalk - sharp-Smalltalk compiler implements Smalltalk to run natively on .NET framework, allows using classes from normal .NET programs; class library is mostly compatible with ANSI Smalltalk. [Open Software License]
  
• Smalltalk Archeology Archive - Has old variants: Apple Smalltalk-80, Digitalk Methods and Smalltalk/V; descriptions, screenshots, downloads, documents.
  
• LSWVST.Net - Pure .Net Smalltalk, Win32 counterpart uses CLR moniker to integrate with .NET, integrates deeper than other Smalltalks. Runs on: all .NET platforms (DotGNU, Microsoft .NET, Mono), varied processor architectures, the Compact Framework.
  
• PIC/Smalltalk - Custom Smalltalk variant for the PIC microcontroller to run the MicroSeeker autonomous underwater vehicle.
  
• StepTalk - Weblog on scripting, StepTalk development.
