COMMENT:
GNU Smalltalk

DESCR:

   GNU Smalltalk is an implementation that closely follows the
Smalltalk-80 language as described in the book `Smalltalk-80: the
Language and its Implementation' by Adele Goldberg and David Robson.

   Unlike other Smalltalks (including Smalltalk-80), GNU Smalltalk
emphasizes Smalltalk's rapid prototyping features rather than the
graphical and easy-to-use nature of the programming environment (did
you know that the first GUIs ever ran under Smalltalk?).  The
availability of a large body of system classes, once you master them,
makes it pretty easy to write complex programs which are usually a task
for the so called `scripting languages'.  Therefore, even though we
have a nice GUI environment including a class browser (known as Blox),
the goal of the GNU Smalltalk project is currently to produce a
complete system to be used to write your scripts in a clear,
aesthetically pleasing, and philosophically appealing programming
language.
