Hi,
I'm learning Smalltalk with VW and was playing around creating some classes
and subclasses.
I had a variable holding an instance of a given class and then added a new
member to its superclass. Just to see what happens (it's gonna crash or
something...), I decided to try the new method with the _already_ created
instance and... it worked!=:-O
I mean, the modifications to its superclass were immediately available to the
already created instances! What the heck??? No need to recompile, no need even
to create a new instance, no nothing...
Call me a yokel if you wish, but for someone coming from C++ this is black
magic, period.
How is this implemented? O:-)
PD If you guys don't have to wait for half an hour, while the whole project
recompiles, every time you want to see the effect of some minor modification,
what do you do with all this extra free time? };-)answer from Andy Bower, one of the creators of Dolphin Smalltalk
Well try modfiying a few hundred methods and perhaps do a bit of
refactoring then you'll have saved up enough time for...

I am a Smalltalker, I will be a Smalltalker and all the colleaguages which know me well can tell a story about my enthusiammn. I have developed even Operating System stuff with Smalltalk and I am able to program in almost every programming language - LISP, Prolog ,Scheme, Haskell, C, C++, Fortran90, Assembler ( Z80, MC68000 x86 ) , Java, Perl even Cobol anfd BASIC but Smalltalk is my favorite - I have even created my own Smalltalk ( LSWVST ) but I have also to loose some words of critics about that nice programming language ...
There are big differences between the available Smalltalk dialects. I shall try to elaborate the diiferences here.
