4. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)
Self

    A small, dynamically typed object-oriented
   language, based purely on prototypes and delegation.
   Self was developed by the Self Group at Sun Microsystems
   Laboratories, Inc. and Stanford University.  It is an
   experimental exploratory programming language.

   Release 2.0 introduces full source-level debugging of
   optimised code, adaptive optimisation to shorten compile
   pauses, lightweight threads within Self, support for
   dynamically linking foreign functions, changing programs
   within Self and the ability to run the experimental Self
   graphical browser under OpenWindows.  Designed for
   expressive power and malleability, Self combines a pure,
   prototype-based object model with uniform access to state
   and behaviour.  Unlike other languages, Self allows objects to
   inherit state and to change their patterns of inheritance
   dynamically.  Self's customising compiler can generate very
   efficient code compared to other dynamically-typed
   object-oriented languages.

   Version: 3.0 runs on Sun-3 (no optimiser) and Sun-4.
