This is the same technology that underpins Java (JVM) and.

It should feel familiar, because Smalltalk's implementation of the object-oriented (OO) paradigm is so excellent that it has influenced an entire generation of OO languages, such as Objective-C, Python, Ruby, CLOS, PHP 5, Perl 6, Erlang, Groovy, Scala, Dart, Swift, and so on.īy learning Smalltalk, you'll understand how all of those useful features in today's OO languages came to be. You don't have to use Smalltalk in production today, but try coding something in Smalltalk and see how it feels.

There are good reasons to consider using modern Smalltalk today, since much has changed in recent years to improve its prospects. It's an industrial-strength enterprise language used by businesses both big and small all around the globe. It's a superlative prototyping language for startups. It's an excellent instructional language for teaching programming to people who have no technical background. Read this to find how to enable soft wraps.Smalltalk is widely perceived as an old, moribund language-an antique from a bygone era. Here is how the same code from the above example looks after enabling the soft-wraps feature (notice how the whole text is visible now, due to the soft line breaks added by the editor): Luckily, you can use the 'soft wrap' feature of Intellij to get the editor window to put line breaks in the content so that horizontal scrolling is no longer required. Here's an example (notice how the text continues beyond the visible area of the editor window and you need to use the horizontal scrolling to see the hidden part): In such cases, you'll need to scroll the editor window horizontally to read the content, which can be a frustrating experience. While it is common to enforce a maximum line length for code written in some languages (typically, for code made up of statements such as Java), it is also common not to enforce such a limit for source content that contain paragraph-like structures (e.g., Markdown, HTML).
