Wait, what? You mean that Smalltalk is a descendant of Obj-C? That's... interesting... [EDIT: ok, I misread the parent statement, my bad.]

You have a whole system source right there before your eyes. Click on "try in browser" button, then select a package in the left-most pane, then a class name in second pane and then method name in rightmost pane. Voila, what you're reading now is a Smalltalk source for this method.

- protomyth 14y agoYes, I meant the opposite and looking at it am not real sure how someone would turn that around.
- protomyth 14y agoNo, no, no - Objective-C is a descendent of Smalltalk. If you use Objective-C, Smalltalk won't look quite so weird. [edit] Why would I bother to download it and explore with so much else going on? Give me a feel and tell me why. You can get lost in a Smalltalk IDE fairly quickly.
