Reading the #smalltalk72 manual and you can definitely smell more of the #lisp than with #smalltalk80.

Opinion: this book is so good it makes me want to cheat on #clojure. Specifically I have ByteSurgeon envy.

@albinotree thanks for pointing out that paper! I own Liebermans "your wish is my command" which is fantastic so it makes sense that he would be apart of #self history! I like to look at the history of programming through a syncretic alchemical lens in which I can categorize languages as left hand or right hand path. #lisp #smalltalk #apl #forth inspired languages are left hand (they are willing to sacrifice total control of memory for expressivity). Right hand languages (total control of memory and strict typing) have just never done it for me. That said languages like #clojure, and further #carp, are probably middle path which is cool. The real #magic of #self #smalltalk80 and #genera though is the editing environment programmer experience. The only word I have come up with to describe it is #reproductive. All that said #haskell probably wins. I just cant stand the syntax. Bury me in parens.
