On the spiritual side of it; I feel welcomed by this concept

>The product of working on smalltalk are objects, and they are

>Smalltalk is NOT the container, nor the syntax (the smalltalk language), nor
>the underlaying architecture (the smalltalk VM).
>Smalltalk is an open system where you can find the objects
> built by others and the objects of your future.

>To find the objects of the others please look inside the image (live
> there and you can touch/change them instantly).
>To find the objects of your future, stay with us and share.
>Relax and let it be. Do not try to consume objects of others.
