High-level, pure object-oriented, prototype-based, scripting language; Smalltalk-like syntax; some features borrowed from Scheme, Self, JavaScript. [Open Source, LGPL]
OO prototype-based, reflective language, based on only message passing, a key trait of OO languages; it allows late-binding polymorphism, the key trait making possible incremental modifying of programs. Descriptions, papers, implementations: Smalltalk, C++, Java, Scheme; MiniMix.
Small, embeddable interpreter, mostly Scheme R4RS conformant, with extensions: supports prototype-based object model, some POSIX system calls, compilable in secure mode.
Papers about and related to NewtonScript, the prototype-based language for Newton PDA.
By Rainer Blome. Alphabetized list with descriptions of, and links to, many prototype-based languages.
Was Poe: prototype inheritance language and OO virtual machine for building network-accessible programs for multiple programmers, users, agents. Persistence and garbage collection are automatic and transparent. [Open Source, GPL]
A runtime-extensible language built on top of SML/NJ designed for building collaborative environments. Supports dynamic delegation with multiple dispatch, several useful datatypes, inline ML, and checkpoint persistence.
Language-OS based on CLOS, Self, Smalltalk; Smalltalk syntax; libraries inspired by Common Lisp, Dylan, Strongtalk (strong typing). Descriptions, programming manual, tutorials, summaries, bulletin board Swiki, CVS. [Open Source, LGPL]
