Smalltalk si not a language. Smalltalk is a place.
There, we can create our creatures and help them to evolve.
I use Smalltalk(Squeak) because I can HAVE the power of creation.
Prior to Smalltalk, we hummans could only create in our imagination.
Now we can export the imaginations outside our mindts to this
 new (virtual) medium.
This new medium of information beings is very important for us...
 but also for information.
Now information (in the form of bodies=objects) can run outside
 our minds an move (using Internet) at speed of light.
I think that we use Smalltalk (object environment) because
 it is important to us to export our mind contents outside
 our brains, but also because IT is important for our "mind contents"...

Asunto: 	Why i use Squeak ???

Hi.

i am asking to myself why i am using or why i want to use Squeak. I
answered:

a. i like OO and i want something easy that allows me to make my OO models
executable (put in another way smalltalk is a language that allows me to put
OO concepts as they are in my mind). So I use for PROTOTYPING

b. I think Smalltalk is a good didactic language for learning OO.....so i am
using for aids in my trainings !!! So I use for DIDACTIC purposes

c. It's fun to program with smalltalk...but this is a very subjective
opinion....

My question is: i am a newbie to smalltalk world.....are my answers
arguable? (are they consistent answer?). Do I missing something most
important ? Probably i need some motivation to learn the VM around Squeak
.......

Thank you a lot...

Bye
