Why implement Smalltalk on Rubinius?
Why create a programming language?
Why create?
"When you don't create things, you become defined by your
tastes rather than ability. Your tastes only narrow and exclude people. So create." why the lucky stiff
Why a programming language?
About programming languages: "I don’t like any of them, and
I don’t think any of them are suitable for the real programming problems of today, whether for systems or for end-users" Alan Kay
Problem Oriented Programming Languages Cairo (~120k SLOC in C) rewritten
in less than 400 lines
Why Smalltalk?
Why Rubinius?
