Microlingua
presentation
Maurice Rabb: Katalytyk, LLC
Wednesday 8:30:00 am to 9:15:00 am

Abstract: Dynamic object-oriented programming languages are rarely used in small or real-time embedded systems. The presentation will discuss implementation techniques originally developed to enable Smalltalk to run efficiently on tiny consumer electronic products such as animated watches. The work has application in other domains including wireless, medical, industrial, and military equipment.

Topics will include developments since Smalltalk Solutions 2003. One of Smalltalk's most cherished aspects is its expressive power. Microlingua introduces a fast and consistent conceptual model for handling numerics, im|mutability, execution context, and concurrency. It improves the safety and power in expressing these fundamental concepts.
