Smalltalk is a dynamic object oriented programming language designed by Alan Kay, Dan Ingalls, Adele Goldberg, Ted Kaehler and Scott Wallace. Smalltalk's design started on 1969 and published on 1980. Smalltalk got influence from programming languages such as Lisp, Simula and Logo etc. Various version of Smalltalk are Smalltalk-71, Smalltalk-72, Smalltalk-76, Smalltalk-80 Version 1, Smalltalk-80 Version 2, etc. Major implementations of Smalltalk are Squeak and VisualWorks.
Smalltalk programs are first compiled to bytecode and then the virtual machine dynamically coded this bytecode into machine language. Smalltalk-80 has reflective systems with good OOPS concepts and syntax of instructions are minimized. Major implementation of Smalltalk language are Bistro, IBM VisualAge Smalltalk, VisualWorks, Ambrai Smalltalk, Visual Smalltalk Enterprise, Vista Smalltalk, Smalltalk MT, F-Script, Dolphin Smalltalk and GNU Smalltalk, etc.
