BioSmalltalk

BioSmalltalk is a new environment system for pure object-oriented bioinformatics programming aimed at bridging the gap between bioscientists and rapid software prototyping while preserving the possibility of scaling to whole-system biology applications. The software performs better in terms of execution time and memory usage than Biopython and BioPerl for some classical situations. It is cross-platform and freely available under the MIT license through the Google Project Hosting.
