Squeak: modern development environment for Smalltalk.
The talk will give an overview of Squeak the language, the platform, and of the recent advances in the larger Smalltalk community: the Seaside web framework, the release of GNU Smalltalk 3.0.
Squeak is a modern open-source development environment for the classic Smalltalk-80 programming language. Despite being the first purely object-oriented language and environment, Smalltalk is in many ways still far ahead of its successors in promoting a vision of an environment where everything is an object, and anything can change at run-time.
