Self is an object-oriented programming language based on the concept of prototypes. Self was a dialect of Smalltalk being dynamically typed and using just-in-time compilation (JIT) as well as the prototype-based approach to objects: it was first used as an experimental test system for language design in the 1980s and 1990s. In 2006 Self was still being developed as part of the Klein project which was a Self virtual machine written fully in Self.
