Hello,

I don't know if somebody may be interested, but Fred Rivard and me wrote in 1991 an interpreter of Self 1.0 in Smalltalk 2.5 (Ultimardrev Self). It contains a parser of the full Self-syntax, that was able to reload most of the system files, for generating the initial Self world. The sources may be available.

Then starting from this interpreter, Pierre Cointe, Jacques Malenfant, Christophe Dony and me have extended its virtual machine to decompose message sending according to the lookupOapply model, supported by a meta-object protocol. This is an alternative to limited mirrors for reflecting upon Self.

Actually, we are defining our own full-reflective plateform, Moostrap, inspired by some Self constructions, and we would be very interested by any experience with reflection in Self.

Philippe Mulet.
