Works for me. :)

I seem to have mentioned Squeak at least once at every Perl or Linux group
meeting I've attended.

My argument is "you don't know OO until you've used a pure OO language",
and when people ask me how to fulfill that, I suggest they find a good
Smalltalk or Eiffel or Ruby implementation.  "Smalltalk - that's long
dead, right?" and then I point them at Squeak.  Neat.
