Article very briefly mentions Squeak[0], which I think would be worth looking into if you wish to pursue Smalltalk as a modern language instead of simply a historical footnote. Alan Kay, Smalltalk's creator, continues to contribute to Squeak, which he considers closer to his original ideal of what the language should be than Smalltalk-80.

- gokr 10y agoHmmm, I find this slightly misleading. It was a long time ago that the original Smalltalk creators were involved in Squeak (Dan Ingalls is the main developer, Alan Kay the visionary). It should also be mentioned that Squeak (and Pharo too) was and still is VERY close to Smalltalk-80.
