A multi-platform Smalltalk-80 environment
 
BeSqueak is the BeOS port of Squeak.  Squeak has its own unique graphical user 
interface and runs identically on a variety of platforms (Win32, Unix, Mac, 
Acorn, several PDAs, and more...).  All the source code for Squeak, its virtual 
machine, and all the applications that come with it is freely available.

Squeak not only includes the traditional Smalltalk-80 environment (MVC), but 
also an experimental user interface / prototyping enviroment known as Morphic 
which is related to SELF.

Squeak includes a wide variety of software.  All the source for this software 
is available for your inspection.  An incomplete list of this software follows:

Scamper, a web browser
Celeste, an e-mail client
IRC chat
MIDI playback & synthesis, as well as access to the BeOS Headspace MIDI synth
.WAV file playback (other audio codecs may be available)
The full Smalltalk-80 development environment
3D graphics
A web server that allows visitors to edit the pages
Macromedia Flash file player
True type font support
TCP/IP sockets
Joystick support
serial port access

One thing that is amazing about Squeak is that all this software (and more) 
runs almost identically on many platforms.  Another cool thing is that many of 
Smalltalk's original creators are involved in this project and new development 
is happening all the time.
