There are two principal reasons why you should learn Smalltalk:
- Smalltalk's inherent characteristics ensure that your productivity
using Smalltalk is likely to
exceed your productivity in other programming languages.
- The supply of powerful Smalltalk software modules, provided by
Smalltalk development environments, enables you to develop
applications principally by gluing together existing software, rather
than by writing new software from scratch.
