# SmalltalkSurvey

The goal is to compile a reasonably complete list of all implementations of the Smalltalk system.

While it is very common for a recent language to have a single, open source implementation thanks to the Internet and to the reduced kinds of computers now available, it used to be inevitable for interesting languages to have many different implementations. The most common reason was due to the language not being available on your computer, or only a very expensive commercial version being available. The languages themselves were simpler and didn't include much in terms of libraries, so the effort to implement from a written description was not too bad. These descriptions were often not complete, leaving the implementors to guess many details and to include their own ideas. While languages like Basic and Pascal split into many dialects, the Forth, Lisp and Smalltalk communities were specially prone to this.

This page tries to trace the many Smalltalk dialects created over the years. In theory the separation of the system into a virtual machine running an "image" file should have helped splits be less common than in other languages, but in practice commercial reasons and hardware limitations encouraged recreating the image from scratch in many different projects.

### What is Smalltalk?

A language will be considered to be a Smalltalk if

1. it is easy to type in an example from a Smalltalk-80 book while adapting it on the fly (not counting any differences in the libraries) or
2. if "smalltalk" is part of the project's name.

Rule 1 is very subjective. For some people it might be trivial to translate Smalltalk-80 into Objective-C or Javascript while typing at full speed, but many others would find it a bit complicated.

The reason for rule 2 is to allow an implementation's creators to decide. If they selected to include "smalltalk" in the name of their project then their intent should be respected. In the current version of the list below only Smalltalk-72 (and -74) and MIT's ConcurrentSmalltalk depend on this rule. It would be silly to exclude the very first Smalltalk even if it lacks many features that later became standard and the Lisp syntax of the MIT project is only a small issue given how the rest of the project adopts the traditional Smalltalk ideas.

### Type

"Paper" means that a description of the language was published without a corresponding implementation (at that time). "System" indicates that both a virtual machine and an image including libraries were implemented. "VM" means that a new virtual machine was created to run some existing image, while "image" indicates a new image and libraries running on a previously implemented virtual machine or an implemention on top of an existing system.

### License

"Open" means that the license is in the spirit of Open Source or Free Software (linking to the code repository). "Commercial" is closed software that was sold. "Internal" was not made available to the public at all. "No cost" was made available without payment but without the sources (the more proper term "freeware" would cause confusion with Free Software and so was avoided).

## Implementations:
