That's good to hear - so I am wondering would people here place Squeak in a category of Visual Programming Languages (visual like Visual Basic)?

Welcome, I am 14, and I just started with Smalltalk and Squeak, and I personally feel that it is easier to use and understand, once you get a basic understanding of how everything works. I have only really written software in Java, and I have played around with C++ a bit, but Smalltalk is my favorite language at the moment, and probably will be for quite some time!

Cool, thanks for the correction. I realized right away it was different. Thanks for explaining.

There was one I forgot to mention, which claims to use a similar production paradigm to SmallTalk - that is Ruby. I've been programming in Ruby for over a year now, which I know isn't the same, already, but it too is completely Object Oriented and Object Based.
The object semantics are indeed similar. However, in Squeak you're interacting with live objects directly, rather than having them recreated from dead code all the time. That's a huge difference once you make the mind shift.
And, btw, it's "Smalltalk" with a lowercase t.
