LSWVST contains in the Enterprise Version more than 6000 classes.LSW Vision-Smalltalk ( LSWVST ) is a sophisticated development platform .
LSW has entered a partnership with Object Arts and is creating DNG, the next generation of Smalltalk - read about it here
LSWVST is a proprietary Smalltalk and parts of it will be available in Dolphin Next-Generation Smalltalk ( DNG ).
For convenience find below the old content of the LSWVST page still having valuable informaion about LSWVST's history, our sophisticated VM and our roots in Visual Smalltalk.
But the future is DNG - for news on DNG please visit the Object Arts Website
Alejandro F. Reimondo who visited us recently made a Statement in the VSE-List. We have a copy here.
Read about the history of LSWVST and its compatibility to VSE here. We have added a migration page to the LSWVST Documentation. We are investigating the possibility to create an implementation of Ruby based on LSWVST. Read about it here.
New: LSWVST goes to the Internet - with LSWVST TwiLight we will be able to build Rich-Internet Applications (RIA's).
LSWVST contains in the Enterprise Version more than 6000 classes.
LSWVST Applications can be deployed to pure native code with a minimum Runtime-System ( about 130K Byte ).
With LSWVST a wide range of Software can be written including Operating-Systems, Device-Drivers, Static or Dynamic-Link-Libraries, ActiveX Controls.
We claim that LSWVST's compiled native code is same as fast as plain C. We achieve that by adding a "Deployment Layer" to Smalltalk's methods.
LSWVST uses native-OS-Widgets - read about our GUI Library LSW- Orthogonality here.
LSWVST is now developed mainly under MS-Windows Vista.We also target MS-Windows-XP, Linux, MacOSX and embedded Systems. LSWVST has a .NET Integration which enables us to develop our .NET Tools. LSWVST includes now LSW DotNet-Lab a toolset for .NET programmiing. We have created a "pure .NET experimental Smalltalk ( LSWVST.Net ).

LSWVST's Smalltalk Compiler was extended, Generic-Inlining, BehaviorShadows and Permanent Method-Variables where added.
We have organized our Smalltalk in a number of tool-sets:
The Code-Browser Toolset contains a number of sophisticated Smalltalk-Browsers:
Our Code-Editors include a number of different View modes including Richtext & Visual-Syntax for Smalltalk. To view a Visual-Syntax-Graph in HTML/VML ( Internet-Explorer only ) click here or use this link to view a Page containing a JPEG.
The Code-Inspector Toolset contains a number of sophisticated Smalltalk-Inspectors:
OS-Callbacks can be debugged.
PROTOTYPES is LSWVST's Visual-Programming Framework with a huge number of visual software Prototypes.. Several Code-generators allow to generate final ORTOGONALITY compliant Smalltalk-code.
