Dan Ingalls and Allen Wirfs-Brock: On Smalltalk, Lively Kernel, Javascript and Progra

[NewsBot]

I recently attended Lang.NET 2008 and, as expected, learned a great deal from some of the industry's finest language and compiler minds.

 

Here, we meet Dan Ingalls and Allen Wirfs-Brock, two legendary Smalltalkers (contributors to the language). Dan Ingalls is well known for his work at Xerox PARC and his contributions along with Alan Kay to Smalltalk. Dan is also very passionate about Javascript.* So much so, that he's gone and created a very interesting Javascript-only project named Lively Kernel. And you can thank Dan for Bit blit.

 

Allen Wirfs-Brock is currently working on some very interesting language enhancements that he can't talk about publicly :)

 

Join us as we discuss a whole range of very interesting topics.

 

Enjoy!
