[Cuis] Audio and Video Object Analysis

[Casey Ransberger]

In the Back to the Future article, Slang is described in the section under
the heading "Smalltalk to C Translation," but you're right, the term
"Slang" itself is not mentioned in the article. The term may not have been
coined yet, though the paper was published the same year that the term came
into use. I hadn't noticed that it wasn't in there!

The wiki article is here (and could use to be updated:)

http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2267

To see examples of this stuff, I'd say the easiest way would be to install
VMMaker in a recent Squeak image and look at the code for the interpreter
VM (NOT Cog.)

To get a sense of the design of the interpreter VM, Tim Rowledge wrote a
great article on that:
