Squeak, Seaside, Pier, and Smalltalk

Here is one interesting software development environment, especially for web applications.

Squeak is an open source implementation of Smalltalk. Seaside is a Web Framework for developing web applications in Squeak. Pier is a CMS built on Seaside. DabbleDB is also built on Seaside -- an incredibly impressive web app.

So far, I've installed it on my Mac iFive (OS X 10.4.10).

Randal,

Thanks for pointing out that excellent FLOSS podcast episode -- it was, in fact, the very podcast that inspired me to download and try Smalltalk.
