|  [Smalltalk] topics that will demonstrate its strengths?
What are some good problem topics which demonstrate Smalltalk's strengths?
Coming from a C#/C++ background, I can see where a lot of their OO came from. But I'm failing to fully understand where its power lay. Any old timers have some insight?

| I've written code in a lot of languages, all the way from absolute binary to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). Smalltalk was the easiest to learn, once I got my brain turned around backwards for the OO stuff. In the class I took, I implemented a "4 function calculator with paper tape simulation" in an hour or so. That was quicker than I could have come up with a design in any language I had ever used. (This was about '92.) I loved Smalltalk as a quick prototyping language and used it to build a GUI for a program I had that was command line based. |
