Clean Slate: Smalltalk and its Progress
presentation
Brian Rice: Logos Research and Development
Wednesday 2:45:00 pm to 3:30:00 pm

Abstract: An introduction and progress report for the Slate programming language and environment is provided, with the design rationale and examples of the benefits already gained from it. Several new sub-systems and features will be introduced and demonstrated, include the subjective programming facilities, graphics / interface architecture, general libraries, and the design of the implementation. Since Slate is similar in spirit to Squeak, comparisons will also be drawn between them in particular.

Bio: Brian Rice is a long-time member and contributor to the open-source Smalltalk and Lisp communities. He has been conducting informal research into language and system design for several years, and recently started developing the Slate language to channel these activities into a venture.

See you in Seattle!
