Squeak was the inspiration for Newsqueak by Rob Pike, co-author of Golang. A lot of the concurrency ideas can be traced to this timeline, some fascinating stuff there. Check out this video by Pike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DtUzH3zoFo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DtUzH3zoFo.

This is a different Squeak. The inspiration for Rob Pike was developed on the Bell Labs in the 80s. Squeak (smalltalk) was developed in the 90s as an open source version of the original Smalltalk engine from Xerox.

  But then there's Newspeak by Gilad Bracha et al. which was prototyped and bootstrapped on Squeak: http://newspeaklanguage.org/ns101/ns101.html http://newspeaklanguage.org/ns101/ns101.html.
