Ambrai Smalltalk

Ambrai Smalltalk is an implementation of the Smalltalk language and development environment for Mac OS X.

We aim to deliver a rapid application development platform suitable to create new or script existing Mac OS applications. Whether you are a seasoned programmer or have never written a single line of Smalltalk code, we hope you will consider Ambrai Smalltalk for your next project.

Features

Ambrai Smalltalk features a complete suite of native development tools and can deploy native applications that tightly integrate with the Mac OS Desktop.

• Standards Compliant – Ambrai Smalltalk implements the ANSI/INCITS 319-1998 subset of specifications widely adopted by the other major Smalltalk vendors.
• Source Code – Ambrai Smalltalk provides full source code, including the source code for the compiler, debugger, and development environment.
• Native Bindings – Ambrai Smalltalk can bind to Mac OS Shared Libraries and Frameworks.
• Objective-C – Ambrai Smalltalk can interface to Objective-C libraries including Cocoa. Objective-C classes can be extended and subclassed.
• Native Look and Feel – Ambrai Smalltalk uses the native Mac OS user interface framework and therefore integrates tightly with the Mac OS Desktop.
• Development Tools – Ambrai Smalltalk provides package, class, category browsers, debugger, inspectors, and workspaces. We plan to have an interface builder in the future as well.
• Application Delivery – Ambrai Smalltalk can deploy standard or console applications.
• Connectivity – Ambrai Smalltalk can interface to databases through ODBC and to remote applications through sockets.
