Dolphin Smalltalk, or "Dolphin" for short, is an implementation of the Smalltalk programming language for Microsoft Windows.

The Dolphin 7 version release coincided with the project going open-source using the MIT License.[1]

Dolphin uses an integrated development environment. The toolset of this Smalltalk dialect include an integrated refactoring browser, a package browser and a WYSIWYG "view composer". Dolphin deviates from the convention of the Smalltalk MVC framework with the choice of a Model–view–presenter framework.

Features[]

  • Integration of the Refactoring Browser tools from Refactory Inc.
  • Package-based browsing environment as an alternative to a conventional Smalltalk class hierarchy browser.
  • A "tabbed" container for managing Dolphin browsers and tools and associating them together with a particular idea or workflow. The goal is to save screen space and clutter and to help developers focus on their train of thought.
  • Source code management very similar to the ENVY source code manager that was available for some other commercial Smalltalk dialects.
