...first as part of a "complete" CS education. The link is to a bunch of quotes which points out that Alan Kay's great revelation was realizing how compactly one can implement Lisp in Lisp. What CS needs is to be about Computer Science,...

...which is probably the first explicit use of those notions. The ideas of Simula 67 influenced many later languages, especially Smalltalk and derivatives of Lisp and Pascal . The Smalltalk language, which was developed at Xerox PARC (by...

...learning. Primary influences include Seymour Papert and the Logo programming language, a dialect of Lisp optimized for educational use; work done at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, PARC ; Smalltalk, HyperCard, and StarLogo (cf. ). Scott...

...Lisp implementations as an extension of the Common Lisp Object System, or CLOS. It implements a simple CLOS interpreter for Lisp called "Closette". In 1997 talk at OOPSLA, Alan Kay called it "the best book written in ten years," but...

...trying to build. (And Smalltalk is an unusual case because of the whole environment; an OO-based Lisp derivative with unusual syntax sans the Smalltalk environment certainly could have been hosted on a terminal of the time). The Lisp Machine...

...12-year olds were able to create were pretty phenomenal. In short, steal as much as you can from Smalltalk and LOGO (a Lisp) and teaching material written for them. But logic and counting certainly is. I think that the reason...

...that it has its cost. And I don't think this sort of low-level polymorphism dwarfs the cost of Lisp or Smalltalk-style dynamic binding, either (B5000 was designed to run Algol; what would you do to run Smalltalk?) There's another angle to...
