Slate programming language

Slate is a prototype based object-oriented programming language with multiple dispatch. It uses the syntax of Smalltalk and some ideas of the Self programming language. Slate also aims to provide an operating system like environment (e.g. graphics interface). It was once featured on Slashdot.
