| Abstract | The language ALSO is designed to support safely extensible multi-user servers. It was originally designed for writing MUD servers (programmable multi-user virtual worlds), but it is also applicable to other servers. For example, it provides much of the key functionality of languages like Safe-Tcl and JavaScript. ALSO supports even more flexible MUD systems than MOO [1], and can be used to implement other kinds of servers too (e.g., HTTP, SMTP). ALSO contains several uncommon or unique features that make it easier to safely extend a running system. This note provides an overview and rationale for ALSO’S design. More details are available [2]. A running ALSO server can be experimented with at telnet://also.lcs.mit.edu:4201. |
