Subject:Re[2]: Small Talk From:Arlen -dot- P -dot- Walker -at- JCI -dot- COM Date:Mon, 13 Jan 1997 13:26:00 -0600
If memory serves me right, Small Talk is from the Applie/Mac stable.
Anything from there, I feel, is easy to learn -- ar at least it looks
like that. All the best!
Your memory fails you. Though they may have a common ancestor in Xerox,
that's about as close as it gets. Apple doesn't own, and never did, an
implementation of SmallTalk, though there are two that run on Macs.
I looked at SmallTalk once. Perhaps I'm just too encumbered with procedural
languages like C but it looked quite strange and difficult to me. Give it a
try and see what you think.
Have fun,
