自己言語はどこでその名前を取得しましたか？

Question

その言語がGoogleの名前にかかっているのはなぜですか？

Answer 1

From here:

It is called 'SELF' because Dr David Ungar got called to many many nerd lecturers and got sick of writing his name on his name badge and just wrote 'Self' instead. SELF is a good name for it as it automatically assumes default self method calls for automatic inheritance.

Answer 2

Yep, Dogbane is right. And it really is a hard to google name so i use "self language" in quotes.

Dave Ungar told the story himself in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ka4KY7TMTU Very interesting: he talks about the design principles behind Self.
