is an open, highly portable SMALLTALK 80 implementation whose virtual machine is written entirely in SMALLTALK, making it easy to debug, analyze, and change.
Quoting from Dwight Hughes, "Squeak extends the fundamental SMALLTALK philosophy of complete openness - where everything is available to see, understand, modify, and extend for whatever purpose - to include even the VM. It is a genuine, complete, compact, efficient SMALLTALK 80 environment (not a toy). It is not specialized for any particular OS/hardware platform. Porting is easy, you are not fighting entrenched OS dependencies to move to a new system or configuration. It has essentially been put into the public domain, greatly broadening potential interest, and potential applications. The core team behind SQUEAK includes Dan Ingall, Alan Kay, Ted Kaehler, John Maloney, and Scott Wallace. All of this has attracted many of the best and most experienced SMALLTALK programmers and implementers in the world".
