The Reg: Forgotten Language Enables Nonstop Gadgets

[link|http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/07/27/esmertec_acquires_oovm/|http://www.theregist...ec_acquires_oovm/]

Esmertec has acquired OOVM, a Smalltalk VM designed for embedded software. OOVM was founded by Lars Bak, lead developer of the Java HotSpot VM (who previously did Self - which was based on Smalltalk).

Fave Quote:

"How does it achieve this magic? OOVM's technology comes in two parts, a VM and a development environment, and it uses Smalltalk, rather than modern-day kludges such as Java, which resembles a modern object-orientated environment in the way that a pub ashtray resembles a cigar store."
