9 Description: A prototype-based object-oriented programming language
10 Slate is a prototype-based object-oriented programming language based
11 on Self, CLOS, and Smalltalk-80. Slate syntax is intended to be as
12 familiar as possible to a Smalltalker, for the clarity of messages as
13 phrases. Unlike the Smalltalk family, methods within Slate can be
14 assigned to a signature of objects, instead of being installed on one
15 favored receiver. Slate has also many further expansions of the
16 semantics which enable more concise and natural ways to express
17 solutions to problems.
