Newspeak is a programming language and platform in the tradition of Smalltalk and Self being developed by a team led by Gilad Bracha. The platform includes an IDE, a GUI library, and standard libraries.〔(Gilad Bracha, Peter Ahe, Vassil Bykov, Yaron Kashai and Eliot Miranda. The Newspeak Programming Platform. )〕 Starting in 2006, Cadence Design Systems funded its development and employed the main contributors, but ceased funding in January 2009.〔 〕 Newspeak is a class based language. Classes may be nested, as in BETA. This is one of the key differences between Newspeak and Smalltalk. All names in Newspeak are late-bound, and are interpreted as message sends, as in Self. Newspeak is distinguished by its unusual approach to modularity.〔 Gilad Bracha, Peter Ahe, Vassili Bykov, Yaron Kashai, William Maddox and Eliot Miranda. Modules as Objects in Newspeak. In the Proceedings of the 24th European Conference on Object Oriented Programming, Maribor, Slovenia, June 21–25, 2010. 〕 The language has no global namespace. Top level classes act as module declarations. Module declarations are first class values (i.e., they may be stored in variables, passed as parameters, returned from methods, etc.) and are stateless. ==Identity== The name "Newspeak" is inspired by George Orwell's newspeak appearing in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. The heading on the programming language's website says "It's doubleplusgood". The motivation for the name is that Orwell's Newspeak language grew smaller with every revision;〔(Software Engineering Radio Episode 140: Newspeak and Pluggable Types With Gilad Bracha/ )〕 Bracha views this as a desirable goal for a programming language. The language icon is supposed to be Big Brother's eye, as seen in page 3 of the documentation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Newspeak (programming language)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
