Squeak
http://www.squeak.org/

Squeak is a modern, open source, highly portable, fast and full-featured implementation of the powerful Smalltalk programming language and environment. When Smalltalk was created more than 35 years ago it defined the term object orientation and is the first language in which everything is built from objects. Smalltalk is deeply inspired by ideas from especially Simula, Sketchpad and Lisp and even today Smalltalk sets the bar for object oriented dynamically strongly typed interactive languages and environments. You may be familiar with other open source languages like Ruby or Python, but Squeak takes these concepts much, much further offering a true uniform fully reflective environment - real live objects. Our diverse and very active community includes teachers, students, business application developers, researchers, music performers, interactive media artists, web developers and many others. We use Squeak for a wide variety of computing tasks, ranging from child education to innovative research in computer science, or creation of advanced dynamic web sites using the highly acclaimed continuation based Seaside framework. This has been added to World Wide Web Reference Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
