This document discusses the history and concepts of the Smalltalk programming language. Smalltalk was developed in the 1970s and was highly influential as one of the earliest object-oriented languages. It featured a simple uniform syntax, with everything represented as an object that communicates through message passing. Smalltalk also introduced fundamental concepts like classes, inheritance, polymorphism, and dynamic typing.

Messages and Methods
Message:What behavior to perform
aWorkstation accept: aPacket
aMonter eat: aCookie
Method: How to carry out the behaviour
accept: aPacket
(aPacket isAddressedTo: self)
ifTrue:[ Transcript show: 'A packet is accepted by
the Workstation ', self name asString]
ifFalse: [super accept: aPacket]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/stoop-002-history-101025032452-phpapp01/85/2-OOP-12-320.jpg)

- 2. S.Ducasse 2 Outline • History • Context • Run-Time Architecture • Concepts • "Making simple things very simple and complex things very possible." Alan Kay
- 3. S.Ducasse 3 Smalltalk: a State of Mind • A small and uniform language: • Syntax fits on one sheet of paper • A large set of reusable classes • Basic Data Structures, GUI classes, Database Access, Internet, Graphics • A set of powerful development tools • Browsers, GUI Builders, Inspectors, Change Management Tools, Crash Recovery Tools, Project Management Tools • A run-time environment based on virtual machine technology • Really Platform Independent • Team Working Environment (releasing, versioning, deploying).
- 4. S.Ducasse 4 Smalltalk - The Inspiration • Flex (Alan Kay, 1969) • Lisp (Interpreter, Blocks, Garbage Collection) • Turtle graphics (The Logo Project, Programming for Children) • Direct Manipulation Interfaces (Sketchpad,Alan Sutherland, 1960) • NLS, (Doug Engelbart, 1968),“the augmentation of human intellect” • Simula (Classes and Message Sending) – Description of real Phenomenons by means of a specification language -> modelling • Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) • DynaBook: a Laptop Computer for Children

- 7. S.Ducasse 7 Precursor, Innovator &Visionary • First to be based on Graphics – Multi-Windowing Environment (Overlapping Windows) – Integrated Development Environment – -> Debugger, Compiler,Text Editor, Browser • With a pointing Device->Yes, a Mouse • Ideas were taken over – Apple Lisa, Mac – Microsoft Windows 1.0 • Virtual Machine -> Platform independent • Garbage Collector -> Time for some real thinking... • Just in Time Compilation • Everything was there, the complete Source Code

- 9. S.Ducasse 9 The History (Internal) • 1972 - First Interpreter -> More Agents than Objects (every object can specify its own syntax) • 1976 - Redesign -> A Hierarchy of classes with a Unique Root, Fixed Syntax, Compact Byte Code, Contexts, Processes, Semaphores, Browsers, GUI Library. Projects: ThingLab,Visual Programming Environment Programming by Rehearsal. • 1978 - NoteTaker Project, Experimentation with 8086 Microprocessor with only 256 KB RAM.
- 10. S.Ducasse 10 The History (External) • 1980 - Smalltalk-80 (ASCII, cleaning primitives for portability, Metaclasses, Blocks as first-class Objects, MVC). Projects: Gallery Editor (mixing text, painting and animations) + Alternate Reality Kit (physics simulation) • 1981 - Books + 4 external virtual machines (Dec,Apple, HP and Tektronix) -> GC by generation scavenging • 1988 - Creation of Parc Place Systems • 1992 - ANSI Draft • 1995 - New Smalltalk implementations (MT, Dolphin, Squeak, Smalltalk/X, GNU Smalltalk) • 2000 - Fscript, GNU Smalltalk, SmallScript • 2002 - Smalltalk as OS: 128k ram
- 11. S.Ducasse 11 Smalltalk’s Concepts • Everything is an object (numbers, files, editors, compilers, points, tools, boolean). • Objects communicate only by message passing. • Each object is an instance of one class (which is also an object). • A class defines the structure and the behavior of its instances. • Each object possesses its own set of values. • Dynamic Typing. • Purely based on late binding.

- 13. S.Ducasse 13 Objects and Classes • Every object is an instance of a class • A class specifies the structure and the behaviour of all its instances • Instances of a class share the same behavior and have a specific state • Classes are objects that create other instances • Metaclasses are classes that create classes as instances • Metaclasses describe class behaviour and state (subclasses, method dictionary, instance variables...)

- 15. S.Ducasse 15 Smalltalk Run-Time Architecture • The byte-code is in fact translated into native code by a just-in-time compiler. • The source and the changes are not necessary for interpreting the byte-code, this is just for the development. Normally they are removed for deployment. • An application can be delivered as some byte-code files that will be executed with aVM.The development image is stripped to remove the unnecessary development components.
- 16. S.Ducasse 16 Summary Had a major impact: Java, Ruby, C# Simple and consistent model Everything is an object All computation is made by sending message Classes, Single inheritance, public methods, private attributes Uniform syntax Not an old language Still one of the most elegant, simple, uniform prue object-oriented language
