Strongtalk is a Smalltalk environment with optional static typing support. Strongtalk can make some compile time checks, and offer stronger type safety guarantees this is the source of its name. It is non commercial, though it was originally a commercial project developed by a small start up company called LongView Technologies trading as Animorphic Systems . History Dave Griswold wanted to use Smalltalk more extensively, but the existing implementations weren t sufficient for his needs. He wanted to improve the performance, add type checking, and use native GUI widget UI widgets . ref http www.strongtalk.org history.html Strongtalk history ref His efforts resulted in the 1993 paper he co authored with Gilad Bracha . ref cite journal author Gilad Bracha and David Griswold title Strongtalk Typechecking Smalltalk in a Production Environment journal Proceedings of the OOPSLA 93 Conference on Object oriented Programming Systems, Languages and Applications pages 215 230 year 1993 url http citeseer.ist.psu.edu bracha93strongtalk.html ref This version was based on adding type checking to the ParcPlace Systems implementation of Smalltalk an implementation that started from scratch would gain a better typing system. He became interested in the improvements that the Self programming language Self team had achieved, and envisioned the same techniques used to improve Smalltalk. Urs Hoelzle Urs H lzle , who worked on the powerful Self compiler, spoke with Griswold about implementing the same type feedback in a Smalltalk compiler. Griswold, H lzle, Lars Bak computer programmer Lars Bak and others formed a small company LongView Technologies, doing business as Animorphic Systems to re implement Strongtalk. Work began in 1994 and they completed an implementation in 1996. However, the company was bought by Sun Microsystems in 1997, and the team got focused on Java programming language Java , releasing the HotSpot virtual machine, ref cite web url http www.strongtalk.org title Strong ... more details

Kyma is a visual programming language for sound design used by musicians, researchers, and sound designers. In Kyma, a user programs a multiprocessor DSP by graphically connecting modules on the screen of a Macintosh or Microsoft Windows Windows computer. Background Kyma has characteristics of both object oriented and functional programming languages. The basic unit in Kyma is the Sound object, not the note of traditional music notation. A Sound is defined as i a Sound atom br ii a unary transform T s where s is a Sound br iii an n ary transform T s sub 1 sub , s sub 2 sub ,.., s sub n sub , where s sub 1 sub ,s sub 2 sub ,..s sub n sub are Sounds ref cite conference last Scaletti first C.A. coauthors Ralph Johnson computer scientist Ralph Johnson title An Interactive Environment for Object oriented Music Composition and Sound Synthesis booktitle OOPSLA 88 Proceedings pages 222 233 publisher Association for Computing Machinery date September 25 30, 1988 location San Diego id ACM 0 89791 284 5 88 0009 0222 ref A Sound atom is a source of audio like a microphone input or a noise generator , a unary transform modifies its argument for example, a LowpassFilter might take a running average of its input , and an n ary transform combines two or more Sounds a Mixer, for example, is defined as the sum of its inputs .
