Which Programming Language are You?

"This program wouldn't VOOM if you put five thousand volts through it!"

I really should get around to learning Python some day.

I'm a complete naif with computers and programing codes.
What does it do?

Well ... there are many people who will tell you that Smalltalk is the best and purest of all object-oriented programming languages. There are some who would probably go so far as to say that it's the ONLY true object-oriented programming language, though I wouldn't go that far myself. (By comparison, C++ and Objective-C (for example) are just C with object extensions bolted on, and while Perl has object-oriented features and supports object-oriented programming, it's very inconsistent about how it does it. Python and Java are both valid and useful object-oriented languages though.)

On the other hand, Smalltalk was never a big commercial success, and there's very little these days it's actually used for.
