The Slate Programming Language 244
An anonymous reader writes "I know that we have had an influx of new programming languages of late, but I feel that this one merits special attention. Theoretical computer scientists and long-time Squeak and LISP contributors Brian Rice and Lee Salzman have been rapidly developing a language called Slate. It draws on the various strengths of the Self, Smalltalk, and LISP languages. To quote from the website: 'Slate is a prototype-based object-oriented programming language based on Self, CLOS, and Smalltalk. Slate syntax is intended to be as familiar as possible to a Smalltalker, rather than engaging in divergent experiments in that respect.' The beta release is currently being written in Common LISP."

And for the rest of the world? Oh wait, sorry, Smalltalkers are gods among programmers. So foolish of me to think of myself before the Smalltalkers.

So it is definitively not going to be very popular in Finland [scantours.com]. The Finns are known as the worst small talkers in the world.
Oh, wait...

looks like "prototype-based, object-oriented" [google.com] are the new buzzwords in programming languages

So basically it's a language that was designed to be used by unwanted children in sweatshop conditions? I, for one, am apalled. All you Smalltalk slave drivers should be ashamed!

Indeed. They are mentioned frequently on the literature, but no one has actually seen one living and breathing. :)
