Self(ID:1361/sel006)

Prototyping OOPL 

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1987
Published: 1987
Genus: Prototyping
Sammet category: Specialised Languages

Small, dynamically-typed object-oriented language, based on prototypes and delegation. Objects may inherit state, and dynamically change their patterns of inheritance. Threads.


OOL for exploratory programming based on a small number of simple and concrete ideas: prototypes, slots, and behavior. Designed for expressive power and malleability. SELF combines a pure, prototype object model with uniform access to state and behavior. Unlike other languages, SELF allows objects to inherit state and to change their patterns of inheritance dynamically.  

Developed by Sun Microsystems and Stanford University and made available by the SELF Group in 1995.

Sun is no longer involved with the SELF project.
