Smalltalk

Smalltalk is a programming language that emphasizes simplicity and object-oriented design, allowing developers to create flexible and reusable code. It uses "objects"—self-contained units that contain data and the procedures to manipulate that data—to model real-world entities smoothly. Known for its clean syntax and interactive environment, Smalltalk was influential in developing modern software concepts like graphical interfaces and dynamic code updating. It’s used mainly in research, education, and specialized applications, valued for its clarity, elegance, and ability to adapt quickly, making programming more accessible while supporting powerful, maintainable software development.
