Anyone write smalltalk or objective-C?

I've been looknig at objective-C (for about half an hour, reading about it) and it seems interesting. They took a different route of extending C than C++ did, and derived tiher additions from smalltalk. Smalltalk is suppsoed to be kinda cool, but I've never used it.

If anyone writes either of these langauges, I'd be intereted to hear how you think they compare to C and C++.

Thanks 🙂
 
I have done some programming for MacOS X, which uses Obj-C. I find it interesting, if quite different than regular C. The thing is that the syntax is so different than what I am used to with C/C++ that it took me a while to understand exacty what the weird colon and bracket syntax meant. and the whole interface and implementation thing also.
 
I have programmed in smalltalk. I came from a java background and smalltalk really makes it apparent how much most languages really aren't totally object oriented. In smalltalk you have NO primitive data types from what I remember(took the class in 2000). EVERYTHING is an object.

I had to learn smalltalk for a programming language implementation class.

we studied ML, Smalltalk, C(already knew), C++(already knew), and Java(already knew). We studied each language in depth.

Of all the languages, ML was the most interesting because to be successful using that language you had to think in a totally different mindset.
