A little Small talk

Smalltalk, as the computer scientists and/or Historians among you will know, is the ante-sescendant of nearly every Object Oriented programming language there is. It's ideas are most cleanly followed by Objective C and much less by C++ and Java.

There is an opensource GNU Smalltalk compiler and it's documentation includes a good smalltalk tutorial.

I have to say I really like it. Now to find a place to use it...

Here are two histories of smalltalk I have found:

• A light one with colout pictures: The History of Smalltalk and Squeak
• A more thorough looking one (I haven't read it all...): The Early History of Smalltalk
