The showstopping problem with smalltalk, IMHO, is the intertwining of the language and the environment. Smalltalk weenies hold this up as one of its greatest strengths, but to me, it just looks like there's twice as much to learn to begin with. A good command-line smalltalk plus a python-style simple interactive environment would be a winning combination. Otherwise, i agree that smalltalk is basically the perfect language. tom -- If you tolerate this, your children will be next. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
