Yet again I showed Smalltalk to a C++/C# programmer.
I started with unary, binary and keyword messages.
After some basic examples he was not yet impressed.

To keep his eyes on the screen I told him that Transcript 
is comparable to stdout in C++ andto convince him from
the open nature of Squeak I did the following:

	Smalltalk at: #stdout put: Transcript

I added a method into TranscriptStream looking like
this:
	<< aCollection
	    self show: aCollection

So we could easily write: 

	stdout << 'Hello' << 'World'

in a Workspace. I also showed him blocks and the implementation
of language constructs. I told him that Pascal has repeat-until
loop build into the language. C++ and Smalltalk dont have one -
the difference is that Smalltalk is able to have one without 
changing the compiler or asking the vendor for it - we just
added a method #repeatUntil: to BlockContext.

He is now more interested in Smalltalk and wants to learn it.
Hopefully he uses Transcript instead of stdout in the future ;)

Have fun
