Hi, I am the Inventor of Pascal, Modula2 and Oberon.
I just downloaded squeak - its really great - The years I have wasted!
I would like to say now that I am truly sorry about the bad things I said about Smalltalk in my books about Oberon.
I admit now that I was just bitter about how popular the vile C programming language became in the '80s - and the nasty things said about me by people like Brian W. Kernighan and his mate that clever thug M Douglas Mcilroy.
You can get me at the ETH Zurich.
