SOM - Simple Object Machine
===========================
SOM is a minimal Smalltalk dialect used to teach VM construction at the [Hasso
Plattner Institute][SOM]. It was originally built at the University of Århus
(Denmark) where it was also used for teaching.
Currently, implementations exist for Java (SOM), C (CSOM), C++ (SOM++), and
Squeak/Pharo Smalltalk (AweSOM).
A simple SOM Hello World looks like:
```Smalltalk
Hello = (
run = (
'Hello World!' println.
)
)
```
This repository contains a Squeak/Pharo-based implementation of SOM. Please see the [main project page][SOM] for other to the VM implementation and the standard library.
A compatible standard library is also available at: https://github.com/smarr/SOM
AweSOM can be asked to directly evaluate a given string, for instance like:
`SOMUniverse new eval: '''Hello World!'' println'.'.`
