That's exactly the feeling I had when I learned about
Self. :)

Stephen Pair did the hard work of extending the VM
with delegation bytecodes:

That'll give you Self-style objects, and an
Inspector-like interface for working with them.

Lately I've been working on creating a Self-like user
interface on top of Stephen's work. (I've been kinda
dissatisfied with Smalltalk's tool-oriented approach
lately.) I've got a very bare-bones version almost
working right now. If anybody's interested, I'll
ignore my real-life work and try to clean up a few
last issues (mostly Morphic-related - getting my
outliners to lay themselves out properly) and release
it.
