You all answer the same way, you are all poet. But nobody answer the question :
What are the "technical" differences ?
It seems you are convinced by something you can't argue.

Yes, at least, I am convinced. And maybe I cannot argue for Smalltalk,
I just know, after working with it, that this is it. But what are you
really asking? Technical difference? What are you going to use the
answer you eventually aquire? To support a personal descicion about
what is best for you (or the rest of us)?<br>
<br>
Maybe you are right. Maybe Smalltalk and the likes are all about
poetry. <br>
