Does anyone know if Smalltalk exists on the Mac? Or any other Object
Oriented language, for that matter... (I've heard of Classcal (or whatever)
-- does it support dynamic binding, etc?)
TIA

Follow up on Smalltalk and Object Orientied Programming on the Macintosh: Apple ships through APDA a level one Smalltalk interperter with 16 bit pointers. It is an experimental version, and is unsupported by Apple. Also, it has a very un-Macintosh like user interface. Object Pascal is the object orientied version of Pascal defined by Apple's ATG (Advanced Technology Group) and Wirth. It is implemented in our MPW Pascal compiler. If you look at MPW Pascal, you should look at MacApp, our library of Macintosh Application Objects, for developing Macintosh applications. Also, Corral Software has an Object Logo and LISP with Object Orientied features available. Hope this helps you sort it all out! -- Jordan Mattson UUCP: ucbvax!mtxinu!apple!jordan Apple Computer, Inc.

We currently are shipping Smalltalk for SUN workstations. I really cannot say much more at this time...

There is an excellent book entitled: Object-Oriented Programming for the Macintosh Kurt J. Schmucker Hayden Book Company ISBN 0-8104-6565-5 It discusses Object Pascal, Smalltalk, Clascal, Neon, ExperCommonLISP, Object Assembler, Object Logo, Objective-C, and the MacApp library. (It is so good that I still haven't returned the copy I borrowed from Ted Lewis more than six months ago!)
