I've never touched it before, but I hear it's all based on messages and shit. Lots of abstraction and dynamicness and whatnot.
The whole image thing bothers me, though. When I'm done with my application, I'm stuck with a 20mb unreadable, unportable binary blob that can only live inside it's toy VM?
But Alan Kay made it, so it must be good, right?

I don't care enough about Smalltalk to be trolled by this.

Here is some Smalltalk code:
smalltalk := Smalltalk new.
mycock := Cock new.
smalltalk sucks: mycock.

Right, I'm making progress, but I'll have you all know, the real troll is whoever made that fucking Squeak GUI.

Alan Kay is to Smalltalk what Steve Jobs is to Apple.

But Smalltalk can't even do math right. Try this:
2+2*2
Even C got that right! Smalltalk didn't!
