I had the same thought. Smalltalk is a wonderful environment but it doesn't really play well with others. Smalltalk really wants to be *the* environment where the language is just a scripting tool within this larger environment of object manipulation, and it's really cool at that, but as a language for 'business apps' ina heterogenous environment out it's own image, it's akward sometimes -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
