Smalltalk is a better implementation of the OO paradigm than either Java or C++. It was intentionally designed to implement the OOP paradigm with no compromises. But for every tool, there is a set of problems for which it will be better suited than some other tool. The optimal problem spaces for C++, Java and Smalltalk are not the same (although there is some overlap). And there are languages in the world other than the three mentioned--but the newsgroups line doesn't contain any of their newsgroups... --Alan
