That covers a lot of what I love/d about Smalltalk; it was fantastic. If there was a great cross-platform Smalltalk that let me create small, fast, standalone apps I'd probably be all over it in a heartbeat, once again.

Or Lisp, I'm fine either way--but Smalltalk had some advantages even over Lisp. (Operator precedence not being among those advantages :/

Is Dolphin Smalltalk no longer available? Cannot reach the object arts server.

As of today, what is the recommended Smalltalk to use if I wanted to create a 3D scientific visualization app using OpenGL/Metal/Mantle?

Not sure. The main commercial player these days is probably Cincom. I'm not up-to-date with current Smalltalk impls and how well they interact with external libraries.

Who the is against OOP like that? Grow up programming in VB?
