> small languages which reach "smallness" by giving access to a limited set of extremely powerful constructs That's one of the things I really loved when working in Smalltalk: the language gives you all of the building blocks necessary to build more or less then entire standard library, which makes it extremely simple to implement custom control structures for your application. That, and the fact that you're programming directly in your running application of course.
