[squeak-dev] [OT] If programming languages were religions...

Klaus D. Witzel
[... then]
"Smalltalk is the ancient Egyptian religion. The Initiated know it already  
had all the important concepts working long ago and most popular modern  
languages are incomplete subsets of it that obsess over artificial  
restrictions of their own creation while entirely missing the reason their  
code exists in the first place.

And the heart of your code will be judged against the Feather of Truth  
before it can join the message passing afterlife."
