+The AmbientTalk/2 interpreter is written in pure Java and requires a regular J2SE Java Virtual Machine supporting version 1.3 or higher. AmbientTalk can be run under the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) CDC/Personal Profile. This allows AT/2 to run on PDAs and high-end cellular phones. A build for J2ME CLDC is currently not available.

 For a full overview of the supported features, open the Bundles > Bundle Editor > Show Bundle Editor menu and select the AmbientTalk 2 bundle in the bundle editor. All available actions, together with their hotkey are listed there.
-== Versions ==
-The current build still requires a J2SE JVM (>= 1.4) to run. The next build, however, will be JDK-1.3 compatible and can be run under J2ME CDC/Personal Profile. This allows the next AT/2 build to run on PDAs and high-end cellular phones. A port to J2ME CLDC is currently not yet planned.

 ===== AmbientTalk/1 =====
-{{:at:qtek_small.png|:at:qtek_small.png }} 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.
