Dan Ingalls' Smalltalk Zoo opens its gates: computerhistory.org/blog/int… Also, Dan's HOPL4 paper (linked from the article) is a must read for anyone interested in Smalltalk and the evolution of object technologies.

Day 9 completed using @iolanguage! Wasn't familiar with this language, but was reading up on Smalltalk and found io! This was the hardest one so far in terms of language, but very fun. Looking forward to doing more in io github.com/mrpapercut/advent… #AdventOfCode

Had a wonderful introduction to @iolanguage via #7languages7weeks. I like you quite a lot. No surprise because you remind me of #JavaScript

An excellent lecture on the Self programming language. It's a must watch, especially if you don't know what Self is. youtube.com/watch?v=3ka4KY7T…
