It was an off-shoot of Visual-Age Smalltalk, trying to jump onto the
young and upcoming Java ecosystem. I remember reading that Eclipse was
(in part) originally intended to be a java based reimagining of VAJ.
Interesting, Wikipedia says " VisualAge for Java was based on an
extended Smalltalk virtual machine
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine> which executed both
Smalltalk and Java byte codes <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_code>.
Java natives were actually implemented in Smalltalk."
I didn't realize it's Java was actually implemented IN Smalltalk - that
explains a lot :)
