“Squeak is an object-oriented, open-source-code programming
language based on and written in Smalltalk-80. It is
platform-independent and, like Java, requires a virtual machine for
each platform on which it runs.”

“The neat things about Squeak appear to be the way it handles
objects, real-time audio and music capabilities, and color
manipulation.”

“… And it’s got an open source code that enables developers to
tweak any part of a Squeak app. Sounds to me like a better
Java.”
