Editing NewtonScript (section)

== Influences ==
With the cancellation of the Newton project by Apple in 1998,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://windowsitpro.com/windows-server/apple-cancels-newton|title=Apple cancels Newton|website=windowsitpro.com|access-date=2016-09-22|date=1998-02-28}}</ref> all further mainstream developments on NewtonScript were stopped. However, the features used in NewtonScript would continue to inspire other programming models and languages.

The prototype-based object model of Self and NewtonScript was used in [[JavaScript]], the most popular and visible language to use the concept so far.

NewtonScript is also one of the conceptual ancestors (together with Smalltalk, Self, Act1, [[Lisp (programming language)|Lisp]] and [[Lua (programming language)|Lua]]) of a general-purpose programming language called [[Io (programming language)|Io]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://iolanguage.org/guide/guide.html|title=io guide|website=iolanguage.org|access-date=2016-09-15}}</ref> which implements the same differential inheritance model, which was used in NewtonScript to conserve memory.
