I am personally very interested by Smalltalk ever since I heard
of its critical role in the development of object-oriented
programming. If you get to developing in smalltalk and want
some help, I'm looking for a reason to learn it.

"Smalltalk programs tend to be one third to one half the size of 
programs written in other popular languages."

Is this true? Tighter than Perl with its CPAN? I'd like to know. 
Charles Moore with his ColorForth sez he can write at 1/100th 
the code length of C and has a 500-line VLSI chip designer to 
prove his assertion.
