For our August presentation, Newspeak's creator Gilad Bracha (
https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://bracha.org/__;!!DZ3fjg!6f0ol3BvLACKoNXlP=
MdyDGLxtpLjxHRGQDZWfeG8F6FL4cc_6dFVGFHFmCAjXrMhe86lJio4eb3pqv70YMT2loUj$  )=
 will share some recent developments in Newspeak.

All Newspeak ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://newspeaklanguage.org/__;=
!!DZ3fjg!6f0ol3BvLACKoNXlPMdyDGLxtpLjxHRGQDZWfeG8F6FL4cc_6dFVGFHFmCAjXrMhe8=
6lJio4eb3pqv70YP1UEPHO$  ) applications now support
interactive online collaboration out of the box. No programming is required
to enable this. We utilize the Croquet system to support this, but use it
in a unique way, so that no special programming is required. Instead, we
leverage Newspeak's class hierarchy inheritance and platform objects so
that all Croquet adaptation is done automatically.

This is an interim step toward Newspeak's long-standing goal of orthogonal
synchronization. We'll explain what all this means, show how it's done, and
speculate on next steps.

This will be an online meeting.

If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup
page ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.meetup.com/ukstug/events/309=

meeting details.
