To complement the Pharo recommendation, I would also recommend cuis smalltalk. It also forked from squeak, but went on an aggressive diet, shedding much complexity in the base image, and modularising (using git) much of the rest. Smalltalk newcomers may find cuis is easier to "digest" and get to grips with. Having used pharo and squeak myself, I find myself preferring cuis for more serious development. YMMV. - full instructions on install & first steps at [main cuis repo](https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev) - ["The Cuis Book"](https://cuis-smalltalk.github.io/TheCuisBook/index.html https://cuis-smalltalk.github.io/TheCuisBook/index.html) - [cuis docs repo](https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Learning-Cuis https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Learning-Cuis) - [cuis related repos on github](https://github.com/search?o=desc&p=1&q=cuis-smalltalk&s=updated&type=Repositories https://github.com/search?o=desc&p=1&q=cuis-smalltalk&s=upda...)
