There was one I forgot to mention, which claims to use a similar production paradigm to SmallTalk - that is Ruby. I've been programming in Ruby for over a year now, which I know isn't the same, already, but it too is completely Object Oriented and Object Based.


The object semantics are indeed similar. However, in Squeak you're interacting with live objects directly, rather than having them recreated from dead code all the time. That's a huge difference once you make the mind shift.

And, btw, it's "Smalltalk" with a lowercase t.
