What if there was a free open source version of Smalltalk (with an option for using script source files instead of a GUI) for Unix in the early 80s? Could it have become the defacto Unix scripting language instead of Perl?. Might Netscape have put it in the browser? Would there have been a raison d'être for Python or Ruby (as more OO options to Perl)?
