Any links?

I started getting interested in Smalltalk after I tried writing a MacOS program by calling the Objective-C runtime from Rust and had a surprisingly good time. A Smalltalk-style OO language feels like a better base layer for apps than C.

For example, this guide I was reading just earlier: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/EventOverview/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000060i https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Co... Generally everything in that documentation archive is absolutely amazing. I don't know why it's an archive; presumably they laid off or reassigned the entire team working on it and there will be no more. The closest thing today would probably be Technotes: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technotes https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technotes
