Help - Glossary - S - Squeak

Squeak is a programming environment and programming language bundled together. It is a development of Smalltalk and goes beyond Smalltalk in containing and being oriented around Morphs: Parts of a computer-screen that are Objects in Squeak, and thus can be used to run all manner of programs inside Squeak.

Here is a statement by Dan Ingalls that concerns a leading end of Smalltalk and Squeak:

The principle of mastery

If a system is to serve the creative spirit, it must be entirely comprehensible to a single individual.

Squeak is free software, comes with full source, and is open source. Squeak embodies 35 years of research and development.
