Smalltalk YX Description

Smalltalk YX is an implementation of the Smalltalk-80 standard. Smalltalk is a dynamic object-oriented programming language. With the name Smalltalk we usually refer to the language standard (syntax, semantics, philosophy, etc.). You can think of Smalltalk-80 like the C99 standard. Syx is one of the implementations of this great environment so you can take Smalltalk YX for a spin to see what it's all about! Main features: Readable code: What we want is to let everybody read and understand the code of Syx either without a specific knowledge of how languages work generally. Flexibility trough easy creation of plugins: Everybody can extend the lower layer of Syx with the creation of plugins, to interface Smalltalk with C/C++ and viceversa. The plugin system must be easy and efficient. Highly portable: What we expect from this project is to be highly portable to all platforms, or at least the most important platforms, with the same code, and to be as much flexible to be ported to any other platform currently unsupported. Optimized: Smalltalk is an expressive language, with a big collection of classes, code and self-documenting methods. Optimization must be one of the most important keys for this project to accomplish the needs of many developers. Modern: The evolution of computing brings to us new technologies everyday of which Syx will be updated to be one of the first choices for developers to look for. Embeddable in C applications: Embedding Smalltalk in C applications with an easy-to-use API must be in the interest of any developer that wants a good object-oriented language for scripting in his applications. Easy to use, powerful and well-structured environment: The whole environment is the base of all the good things that come up with Syx. It must be always improved and made to be even more friendly. Small: The final Syx product must be both powerful and small, in order to be adopted also in embedded devices.
