AweSOM - The Simple Object Machine Smalltalk implemented in Smalltalk

Introduction

SOM is a minimal Smalltalk dialect used to teach VM construction at the Hasso Plattner Institute. It was originally built at the University of Århus (Denmark) where it was used for teaching and as the foundation for Resilient Smalltalk.

This repository contains the Smalltalk-based implementation of SOM, including SOM's standard library and a number of examples. In addition to AweSOM, other implementations exist for Java (SOM), C (CSOM), C++ (SOM++), and Python (PySOM). Please see the main project page for links to other VM implementations.

A simple Hello World looks like:

Hello = (
  run = (
    'Hello World!' println.
  )
)

Obtaining and Running TruffleSOM

To checkout the code:

git clone https://github.com/SOM-st/AweSOM.git

Then, build AweSOM for the use with Pharo:

make

This will also execute the tests, which could also be done manually:

./som.sh -cp Smalltalk TestSuite/TestHarness.som

A simple Hello World program is executed with:

./som.sh -cp Smalltalk Examples/Hello.som
