It is called Slang, and in view of your posting, it almost certainly
not close to what you want. My chapter in the Squeakbook has a
survey of the syntax and a bit of background how Slang is used, but I
strongly suggest you take Bob and Tim's advices before spending a lot
of time on this. Slang is *NOT* really Smalltalk -- its an (mostly)
interpretable Smalltalk-like transliteration of imperative C code,
highly useful for facilitating the development of C-language
interpreters and plugins from a Smalltalk environment.
