VisualWorks — First Steps
Early this past week I installed VisualWorks (NonCommercial) to play with. I've used Dolphin Smalltalk before and liked how the system works.
Installing VisualWorks was easy enough, I filled out the form and was given access to the downloads page. The net installer didn't work so I used the CD ISO download (10 minute download on the cable modem).
I've been pleasantly suprised at the StORE that is in VisualWorks. If Dolphin Smalltalk had that sort of repository I couldn't imagine moving away from it. Dolphin is Win32 only and doesn't seem to have the repository. Ah well, I might see a VisualWorks purchase in my future.
