Slate is Bootstrapped

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-sounds-sexy-or-something dept.

aster_ken writes "The latest Slate compiler is finally able to compile itself. To quote 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." The latest version of Slate, 0.3, is now available for download. It was previously mentioned in this Slashdot article."

    Last time I tried to do that I kept getting a syntax error. Some error about a missing colon.

    My Lord! So that's it! And I thought they took my spleen!

    I also played with self... I don't think anyone would be particularly impressed with my results. I mean, I finished quickly enough -- but the output was rather messy.
