I think GNU Smalltalk is closer to how other languages work.
- david-given 11y agoThe other day I fired up GNU Smalltalk and did some basic scripting with it. I'd forgotten how nice a language Smalltalk is to work in, although the standard library is a bit archaic. There's a new (i.e. about five years old) syntax for defining an entire program in a text file; the interpreter loads the standard image and the compiles your script into it, which makes it very smooth to work with. Alas, I found at least one major bug in gst while writing my 50-line script.
