I remember wondering about this when I was first learning Smalltalk too.

You do stuff like:

s := WriteStream on: (String new: 100).
s nextPutAll: 'Hello World'. "Write a string"
s nextPut: $!.             "Write a single character"
s cr.             "Write a newline character"

It's a bit wordy, but I think streams deserve a lot more credit than
programmers give them.

If you're doing String concatenation:

myString := 'Hello, World!', String cr.

Alternatively, this is also valid code:

myString := 'This
is
a
multi-line
String!
'.
