2011 New Year's Update
|
| |
Since I've been so publicity-shy the last few years, it must seem like Slate is dormant, but I'll try to dispel such impressions soon and start with some status updates. Slate is (for purposes of overview) a self-hosted dynamic object-oriented language with prototypes, multi-method dispatch, and a variety of other strong features described at [link].... more »

An error while making progman.pdf and a couple of questions
|

I git pulled this straight from the github repo, and I'm not a Latex or lyx guy, so I'm not sure what's wrong here. rayne@rayne-desktop:~/slate-la nguage/doc$ make progman.pdf lyx -e pdf progman.lyx progman.pdf unusual contents found: [char " mathalpha][char g mathalpha][char o mathalpha][char l mathalpha][char d mathalpha][char " mathalpha][char... more »

Latest news

We've been in lurk mode for the last few months, but progress continues. Here are some highlights: - The VM was ported from C to C++, allowing some smarter handling by the VM of Slate pointers, which means that our GC is now precise instead of just conservative. - Syntactic support for *rest parameter passing in message sends was... more »

Presentation at a local user group
|
| |
I gave my first Slate presentation in a few years at the local Smalltalk user group, PDX.st. This is a very preliminary slide deck, mostly telling the broad story of Slate rather than enumerating features in detail. I talked around it, and introduced features via full-screen Emacs mode. I intend to expand on this quite a bit, for the purpose of presenting... more »

I have been adjusting to the new city and touring language user groups
here in Portland, which are much more vibrant and interesting than
Seattle's.
I have been developing some small patches for Slate. Some of the more
interesting are:
- Multiple-assignment: `:= or `setTo: have been extended so that the... more »

I apologize for this making it through to the list. The account has
been banned (I originally approved it; I guess it met my believability

Moving from Seattle to Portland
|
| |
I've spent the last couple of months searching for a suitable permanent position to replace my independent contractor/consultancy activity, and found it in Portland so I'll be moving down there. As such, my Slate activity has been low and will continue to be so until fully set up, which may take another month.... more »

Cookbook-style examples posted to Rosetta Code project
|
| |
See [link] for details. We're still working on this; it seems to be a great way to itemize incremental progress and check that various features work and have examples (aside from unit-tests in the tests/ directory). This might also be a good way to try your hand at Slate idioms... some... more »

Gtk and libraries loading

and even load all functions defined in glib-wrapper.c. The problem... more »

Building and working with slate
|
| |
Hi, I've been trying to install and use slate, and run throug some
problems. I was able to solve some of them but need help to take care
of others. First of all, I tested it in two platforms: Win XP and
Ubuntu 9.04 inside a VirtualBox. I'd like to share the experience
because I think it might be useful for others. I used the lastest... more »
