- | AmbientTalk is a contemporary distributed programming language. It is an ambient-oriented programming language, which means that it is particularly geared towards developing next-generation distributed software which has to run on mobile devices (such as cellular phones or PDAs) deployed on open, ad hoc wireless networks. At its core, AmbientTalk uses a prototype-based object model for building abstractions. Its distribution and concurrency facilities are heavily inspired by the actor model. Current implementations are available for the Java J2SE and J2ME (PocketPC) platforms. | + | AmbientTalk/ |

+ | * The AmbientTalk/ | ||
+ | * The IAT Interactive AmbientTalk Shell (40K) | ||
+ | * Additional libraries (JGroups, ANTLR, LOG4J) used by the interpreter (5.5MB) | ||
+ | * The TextMate plugin (see below) | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Installation and Usage == | ||
+ | |||
+ | To run the interactive shell, it suffices to launch the included **iat** shell script. IAT is a simple read-eval-print loop: statements are typed at the command line, evaluated and the result is printed to standard output. Note that the log and error traces are piped to the console. | ||
