While searching for some documentation, I tripped over squeak.
http://www.squeak.org

This is a smalltalk interpreter/incremental compiler site (free download).

In some ways, it reminds me of Dyalog apl (in that you get graphical
workspaces when you start the environment).  More generally, it
implements some interesting UI principles.

Also, smalltalk is one of the better languages for picking up object
oriented implementation concepts.

Anyways, if you have some hours to kill, this might be a good place
to waste them -- especially if you are trying to conceptualize UI
concepts.

For reference, here are some previous references to squeak from J
contexts:

http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/play193.htm
http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/2005-November/000292.html

The first mentions squeak as fun for getting into UI work.  The other
two mention comparative program collections on other sites which
include squeak instances.

FYI,
