Smalltalk wasn't that far ;)
Smalltalk is something like that.
Smalltalk, my experience has mostly been with the Squeak and Pharo variants. It hits everything on your list, in my opinion.
Kind of cool to see smalltalk in use
Anyone working with a Smalltalk implementation?
What, not a single mention of Smalltalk?
The Smalltalk environment is much more than just a REPL.
I'd add the "closed world"/"walled garden" nature of image-based Smalltalks as one more popular hypothesis. On the other hand I never heard the "too hard to learn" argument: highly regular and small syntax coupled with very interactive experience of ST browsers and other tools made it a joy for me to learn. I have only one complaint: as I learned Pharo I frequently tried to learn some interesting package but I couldn't find the "entry point"
Have you tried a smalltalk environment?There's plenty of mature options both commercial and free, and to me, many years ago,they have a similar feeling.
Why is there no mention of Smalltalk on the page?
