Self: The Choice Of The Next Generation

[R James Noble <kjx@Comp.VUW.AC.NZ>]

I recently saw this notice in comp.object, advertising demonstrations
at OOPSLA:

> Self: The Next Generation
> John Maloney and Mario Wolczko, Sun Microsystems Labs., Inc.

for those of us who won't be able to attend OOPSLA, would you like to
describe what will be in the next version of Self?

the rest of the teaser was:

> Demo # 9        Room: A-107
> Self: The Next Generation
> Time: Tue 10/25 at 12:30 pm   and       Wed 10/26  at 3:30 pm

> Self: The Next Generation
> John Maloney and Mario Wolczko, Sun Microsystems Labs., Inc.
> Self is a pure object-oriented language which combines simplicity,
> flexibility and performance.  At last year's OOPSLA we showed the Self
> system with an experimental user interface designed to test ideas in
> direct manipulation and animation.  This year's demonstration will
> exhibit the latest version of Self under development at Sun
> Microsystems Labs, Inc., which incorporates a new user interface,
> programming environment and application building toolkit.
