It's power is smalltalk - either visual works or
squeak
(
http://squeak.org/About/)
If you are looking into programming languages, look into squeak. See the
link above for more than my brief intro here, but also the homepage for
info:
http://squeak.org/
The complete system is open and at your disposal for modifying,
inspecting, learning, debugging, creating, etc.
Squeak runs on many platforms and the image is bit-identical for all
platforms (although there may be some a plugin that only runs on only
one or a few platforms - but I don't know of any off hand.)
Developers see:
http://squeak.org/Features/Development/
I'd be happy to answer any questions about squeak.

Brad,
are you involved in the squeak development? Can I countact you in private?
Being an old HyperCard fan (wrote a mail reader more than ten years ago
with it) and then a Director developer and teacher, I'm excited by what
I've seen.
I've just installed it and started playing but this is awesome.
Is the deployment easy? What about the license?
Thanks for the link!
