  NewtonScript programming language
NewtonScript is an prototype based programming language created to write programs for the Apple Newton.
The Newton was originially going to be programmed in the new Dylan programming language, but a lengthy series of delays combined with NIH eventually led to it being adbandoned.
Since the language would be used for the entire system, as opposed to just running on an existing operating system, it needed to run as fast as possible.

This category is for programming languages which were created, and have as a main or major purpose, to educate and teach about language concepts, design, programming, and/or larger, more general system issues; and/or support other types of education (networking, math, physics); languages existing solely or in large part, to educate.
This category is on programming languages and documents that fully or partially support the basic principles of logic programming: declarative, relational programming based on first-order logic, via Horn clauses, where authors write databases of facts and rules (clauses), and users supply goals, which programs work to prove via resolution or backward chaining.

 Generational list of programming languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Here, a genealogy of programming languages is shown.
Languages should be categorized under the ancestor language with the strongest influence.
Of course, any such categorization has a large arbitrary element, since programming languages often incorporate major ideas from multiple sources.

 GRIN Publishing: The Newton Script Programming Language - Scholary Paper
NewtonScript is as default compiled into byte code and executed by an interpreter, though compiling NewtonScript to native code is possible at a per-function granularity and recommended for performance-critical program parts.
NewtonScript is somewhere in between a full-blown application programming language and a scripting language.
The problem is that in fact NewtonScript programs cannot be written just with a text editor, but have to be put together using the Newton Toolkit environment, therefore it is not possible to demonstrate a piece of GUI code because most of it is done graphically.

 Dynamic programming language - TheBestLinks.com - Assembler, Computer science, Compiler, C programming language, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
In computer science, a dynamic programming language is a kind of programming language in which programs can change their structure as they run: functions may be introduced or removed, new classes of objects may be created, new modules may appear.
As a side effect of this dynamism, most dynamic programming languages are dynamically typed, which static typing advocates consider a drawback (see also static typing).
In most programming languages function calls in the source code are replaced with instructions to run the code at that physical location (the exact location being defined by the linker).

 Issues for Implementing User Interface Software   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
In general procedural languages with their centralized program flow are simply not well suited to the sort of input provided by WIMP interfaces.
The paradigm of programming is rather conventional, widgets are created by a command and script procedures are attached to them to describe their behaviour.
Although it is well suited to the problem of interface programming, to implement efficient compilers is inherently difficult and the advantages over class-based programming are probably not big enough to overcome the substantial inertia of the class-based programming paradigm which has still the edge for implementing data models.

 Object-oriented programming - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Objects - packaging data and functionality together into units within a running computer program; objects are the basis of modularity and structure in an object-oriented computer program.
Polymorphism - References to and collections of objects may refer to objects of different types, and invoking an operation on a reference will produce behavior depending on the actual type of the referent.
The fundamental principle of object-oriented programming is that a computer program is composed of a collection of individual units, or objects which can function like sub-programs.

Newtonscript programs rely heavily on protos, so heavily in fact that proto means both a noun and a verb to developers.

However, as my friend and Windows CE programming wizard John Schettino has pointed out, the transition to the new environment is not entirely trivial.
One of the early strengths of Newton was its high-level object-oriented programming language, NewtonScript.
However, it enabled literally hundreds of developers to ease their introduction to Newton, and has produced what is perhaps still the largest library of commercial and shareware software for just about any handheld (not counting the DOS-based HP LX Series).

 Making it stick.: The Io Programming Language
The ideas in Io are mostly inspired by Smalltalk (all values are objects), Self, NewtonScript and Act1 (prototype-based differential inheritance, actors and futures for concurrency), LISP (code is a runtime inspectable/modifiable tree) and Lua (small, embeddable).
On the whole though Io is a very simple language with what looks like a simple CPython-like implementation.
For programmers looking to understand the "prototypes and delegation" approach to object-oriented programming (as opposed to "classes and inheritance"), then Io seems to be a simple way to dive in deep.
