Smalltalk has a noticeably simpler syntax and is a "full-powered object-oriented language". It's also built on a "full-powered object-oriented platform" written in Smalltalk so virtually all the base system can be modified without changing languages. > LINK: http://www.artima.com/cppsource/simple.html Your statement, "My inner programmer just loves it", is telling. Whatever it is about certain programming languages that make better programmers more productive is mostly a personal matter. Paul Graham has written several articles about LISP and great programmers -- and I can see why. Smalltalk is or would be my first choice if everything else were equal. Python is what I actually use. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
