In the same way that Filk is music performed by people that consider themselves to be Filkers, I would suggest that maybe Smalltalk is what is written by people that consider themselves to be Smalltalkers.

Is everything an object? Do objects have classes? Do objects communicate by sending messages and getting back results? Is an image saved and restarted? Can you forget about having to deal with memory allocation? If the answer is yes to those questions then it’s probably a Smalltalk.

Oh and course the big one - do I like it?
