[plug] Free multiplatform IDE for OO GUI development?

[Fred Janon]

Smalltalk != HyperTalk/Card.

After HyperCard Goodman went off to write books about DHTML and 
Javascript and not the very best ones. HyperCard was very limited, not 
really a langauge and not really OO.

Smatllalk is THE OO language (before LISP), unfortunately born before we 
had machines fast enough to support it. I wish it was resurrected somehow...
