NewtonScript is a high-level, object-oriented programming language designed for use with the Apple Newton platform. It is based on Smalltalk, and borrows heavily from that language in both syntax and semantics. NewtonScript is a powerful language that allows Newton developers to create sophisticated applications. It is easy to learn for those with experience in object-oriented languages, and has good support for common software development tasks such as networking and threading. Despite its power, NewtonScript has been largely overshadowed by more popular languages such as Java and Objective-C. Nevertheless, it remains an important part of the Newton platform and is worth learning for those interested in developing applications for this unique platform.
