  • Old version of offline Scratch that had a secret OS
    Also, it's not really an "operating system", nor was it implemented by the ST. It's just part of Squeak (you got the name right), the "engine" Scratch 1.x was made with (which lets you edit the code in the same window it's running in). Source: about 1 year ago
  • Ask HN: Alternatives to organizing code in files and folders?
    Just downloaded https://squeak.org/ to play around with this concept. I wonder if there is already a modern tool/suite for Node/Python inspired by Smalltalk... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • What are some important differences between the popular versions of OOP (e.g. Java, Python) vs. the purist's versions of OOP (e.g. Smalltalk)?
    AFAIK the major SmallTalk distributions are https://squeak.org/ and https://pharo.org/.

But both stick to their roots with "everything is an object or method", extreme reflection, and integrated runtime/IDE. Source: about 1 year ago

Plan 9 or Inferno might also be options. Plan 9 comes in different variants, the "classic" one (with a Raspberry Pi port by Richard Miller) or 9front, an Inferno porting tutorial can be found at... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
