A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There’s a really good YouTube series by curiousmarc where they restore a xerox alto to fully working condition.

I seem to recall Steve Jobs talking about seeing the Smalltalk-80 at PARC and trying to encapsulate what made it so weird and captivating both. Thanks for this.

I don't know how close the lineage is, but modern implementations include Pharo, Squeak, and some other systems based on object-oriented principles.
