Squeak is an open, highly portable Smalltalk-80 implementation whose virtual
machine is written entirely in Smalltalk, making it easy to debug, analyze,
and change. To achieve practical performance, a translator produces an
equivalent C program whose performance is comparable to commercial Smalltalks.
Other noteworthy aspects of Squeak include
* real-time sound and music synthesis written entirely in Smalltalk
* extensions of BitBlt to handle color of any depth and anti-aliased
image rotation and scaling
* network access support that allows simple construction of servers and
other useful facilities
* it runs bit-identical on many platforms (Windows, Mac, Unix, and others)
* a compact object format that typically requires only a single word of
overhead per object
* a simple yet efficient incremental garbage collector for 32-bit direct
pointers
* efficient bulk-mutation of objects
Squeak comes under an open source license, meaning that you can download
and use it for free. What are you waiting for?
