Inheritance Workshop:
Workshop Schedule


Back

Gilad Bracha has accepted an invitation to give a talk at the workshop, and he will talk about mixins in Strongtalk:

Mixins in Strongtalk

We describe the use and implementation of mixins in the Animorphic Smalltalk system, a high performance Smalltalk virtual machine and programming environment.

Mixins are the basic unit of implementation, and are directly supported by the VM. At the language level, code can be defined either in mixins or in classes, but classes are merely sugar for mixin definition and application.

The Strongtalk type system supports the optional static typechecking of mixins in an encapsulated manner. Mixins are used at key points in the library. The system substantially outperforms existing Smalltalk implementations.

The topics of the talk are presented in the paper Mixins in Strongtalk which is available here: http://www.cs.jyu.fi/~sakkinen/inhws/papers/Bracha.ps.

Here is the final workshop schedule:
