I think you'd need a degree of understanding to get an answers out of the first two links (although there is certainly value in reading the whole of the thread in the first one). As for the third one: "SOUL is an interpreter for a Prolog dialect that runs on top of a Smalltalk implementation" Hey, keshec92, are you still reading, anyway? > /me has also an evangelical streak sometimes. > > Smalltalk is Smalltalk ... other languages who came later just took > a feature out of context and hyped it.

I dunno. There's certainly a lot of languages that think they are borrowing from Smalltalk lately, but I find that they don't really grok Smalltalk (if they did, they wouldn't try to bolt ALGOL-style syntax onto it).
