Swordcane : The Official Web Site of Burger Knives - could I get something like this through customs? (not a serious question, I'm pretty sure that sword canes are illegal in Germany, as they are concealed weapons)

F-Script Home Oldy but Good! is still actively developed. I still wish for a native class browser with editing capabilities to turn F-Script into a "real" Smalltalk for OSX, but it also serves as a replacement for AppleScript (with drastically more extensive capabilities, as it supports not only the Scripting Bridge but all Objective-C frameworks). And for many purposes, it's close enough to Smalltalk.

Lively Kernel - Lively. Something similar to a Smalltalk system, but it runs in the browser, lives in web pages, and uses JavaScript as the language. Provides typical Smalltalk tools like the class browser and inspectors. And a test on the iPad was not blazing fast, but usable. By Dan Ingalls, the Smalltalk implementer alongside Alan Kay.
