Dear all,

Forgive the off-topic email :)

Self is the canonical prototype based language within the Smalltalk 
family.  It is open source under a BSD-like licence and includes a fast 
VM and a development environment built on the original morphic GUI that 
Squeak's morphic is a descendent of.  Self is currently available for 
Sparc Solaris and MacOS X.

Although Self has been resting for a while (if not pining for the 
fjords), there is a new release with a Linux VM in the works and as a 
precurser to that there is a new website:

http://selflanguage.org/

Please check it and Self out - and please refer to this site in future 
when blogging etc so that it is easier to find Self material online.

Best,

Russell
