Self or Smalltalk?

[jemfinch]

Has anyone here ever messed around with Self or Smalltalk? I'm going to be implementing an interpreter (probably for a Self-like language) and I'm curious if anyone has used these two.

Also, if someone wants to download the Self tutorial (http://research.sun.com/research/self/release/Self-4.0/manuals/tutorial.ps.gz) and convert it to PDF for me to read, that would be excellent. My ISP disconnects me after 30 minutes, which isn't enough time to download ghostscript so I can read .ps files on this box.

i've played with Squeak and GNU Smalltalk. play being the keyword. it looks like Smalltalk dosen't have a "standard" of any kind so it looks like a whole bunch of different implementations are in use. i still need to sit down and learn at least one dialect--probably gnu smalltalk because Squeak frightens me--although it is in the OpenBSD ports....even scarier..... :shocked:

I know absolutly nothing about Self.... :?

good luck!
