> This is GNU SmallTalk — one of the most influential early OOP languages. It does have slightly unconventional syntax, but it has nothing in common with assembly programming at all. If anything, it is as far from low-level platform-dependent programming as it could be. That's not-quite-correct, since the Smalltalk-80 implementation manual sitting on my shelf explicitly details the bytecode that compiles to. It's not "as far from low-level programming" as can be, it compiles directly to a bytecode!
