The Slate Programming Language
An anonymous reader writes "I know that we have had an influx of new programming languages of late, but I feel that this one merits special attention. Theoretical computer scientists and long-time Squeak and LISP contributors Brian Rice and Lee Salzman have been rapidly developing a language called Slate. It draws on the various strengths of the Self, Smalltalk, and LISP languages. To quote from the website: 'Slate is a prototype-based object-oriented programming language based on Self, CLOS, and Smalltalk. Slate syntax is intended to be as familiar as possible to a Smalltalker, rather than engaging in divergent experiments in that respect.' The beta release is currently being written in Common LISP."
Does it only let you write about a tenth of the program, then let you finish the rest after you've forked over for a subscription or read some ads?

Sod off. Go back to using toggle switches to program machines that output to a row of LEDs.
Give us back our garbage collected OO languages, our GUIs and our multiuser multitasking operating systems and our networking.
