I came to Squeak/Smalltalk and started having a play. There is something addictive about it but at the same time there are things like the speed issue above that don't make it "easy" for the learner. As an exercise I started to convert the excellent Cincom VW Tutorial to work in Squeak and at the same time I was converting it into Python. End result is that I had less difficulty getting it to work in Python than simply converting to Squeak. I wasn't expecting that. (For interest the other big problem I had, in addition to the speed one, was with the CrLf handling)

Which tutorial were you using?
