And somewhat less well known, probably, but cool and potentially useful, nonetheless: ObjectSpace Voyager. It was a framework for mobile code / agents / distributed computing. I tried it out a bit, liked it. ObjectSpace were also the company that came out with JGL - the Java Generics Library, a commercial library for generics in Java, some time before Java itself got generics or even before the Java Collections API came out. I think JGL was inspired by C++'s STL (Standard Template Library).
- jazzyk 9y agoObjectSpace Voyager was a supremely well designed piece of software - it made complicated things simple. It was also a bit ahead of the time, or perhaps not marketed well.

Could do interesting stuff with it. Graham Glass, who was recently or is still running edu20.org / NEO LMS (an e-learning company and product) was involved with ObjectSpace, Voyager, Electric XML and WebMethods. IIRC he was the CTO of ObjectSpace and then WebMethods. He's an acquaintance of mine and a very accomplished person.
