Do you have any context? Do they plan make yet another Smalltalk? Or buy and improve an existing commercial one? Noury On Sep 16 2024, at 8:23 pm, stephane ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr> wrote:

To me this is a new language (it will not be a smalltalk) more functional, gradual typing = strong typing :) S

Our language is indeed going to be quite different from the existing Smalltalk implementations. We are going to try many new things: better support for functional programming, static typing, even different syntax. We also consider it to be primarily a language for developing distributed systems. The existing Smalltalk implementations are very well suited for creating desktop applications, and we believe there's no need for yet another player in the field. We do want to provide Smalltalk IDE experience nonetheless. Can it still be called Smalltalk? That depends on how open-minded you are. (Can Java and Objective C be called mere ugly dialects of Smalltalk?). Alan Kay considers Smalltalk a continuous research, not a dogma, but there are, of course, practical reasons for not calling something a Smalltalk. Smalltalk has been evolving very quickly in its early years; Smalltalk-80 was *very* different from Smalltalk-71, why couldn't Smalltalk-2026 be as much different from Smalltalk-80? The existing implementations demonstrate how much can be achieved by continuing this branch of evolution; we want to explore new solutions, try new designs, make new mistakes. I am totally fine with people not considering our language a Smalltalk; I do think, however, that it shares a lot of core values with Smalltalk: minimalist approach to language design, application of the same patterns and concepts on all abstraction levels, focus on developer experience and the overall holistic approach, taking into account everything from VM implementation details to UI metaphors. An important difference is that we envision our language to be less dynamic and moldable—many people believe that those are the most important features of Smalltalk. Possibly, but they come at a high price in terms of performance, scalability, security and complexity. Again, we just want to explore new areas of the solution space.
