The "odd syntax" and lack of really good tutorials geared to take existing
C(++)/Pascal/Java programmers (or any programmer for that matter) from
newbie to mastery is one of the most significant failings.

A Java on (or to) Squeak techology would help Java programmers to begin to
explore Squeak while still being productive.
