Thanks for the link.
I found this bold statement from their top page amusing:
If you want to build robust, scalable, complex _and yet exciting_ software
then you need to use pure object-oriented programming techniques.
[emphasis mine]
I've always thought Haskell applications were robust, scalable and sometimes
complex, but it is true that there was always some excitement lacking...
("My applications are so dull; they never have run-time type errors... Oh, I
do so long for that familiar old `message not understood.' Hm, maybe if I
had used pure object-oriented programming techniques...!")
And then a more foreboding warning:
If you've not used Smalltalk before then you're in for a new experience.
Take care, though. The language and environment are so interactive
and engrossing that you may find that in no time you become addicted.
You have been warned.
Jeepers!

P.S.: With tongue in cheek. I have anything against Smalltalk or Object
Arts...
