Omega is a statically typed prototype based language derived from Smalltalk, for which a compiler and programming environment are available for the Macintosh. Günther demonstrated the Omega programming environment, highlighting its performance. For example, he recompiled the entire system from scratch in approximately seven seconds. In general, Omega executes four to ten times faster than Smalltalk. Most of this speedup is due to static typing which allows common code to be inlined, and basic types (such as integers) to be stored and manipulated directly.
