The best thing is you can use Squeak's existing programs, objects and facilities and combine them in new ways and build your own personal application. This is done by coding with the fully object oriented language Smalltalk or by interactively creating, manipulating, scripting and browsing objects on the screen.
Highlights:
* It's free and you can download it, use it, copy it and even sell your programs created with it.
* It is completely open source up to the last bit of the inner system.
* Being a multiplatform system, it works identical on Windows, Mac, Linux, different flavors of UNIX, and some other operating systems, as a plug-in in web browsers and on some PDAs.
* Every code can be browsed, programs can be changed while they are running, and data can be inspected and altered directly.
* Squeak is used in schools where younger children literally play with it and the older ones are educated in math and science with it.
* If you need full control over the program and its data while it is running then Squeak is the right choice for you.
So you may need Squeak for your kid or even for yourself! Why, not as Smalltalk is a very efficient programming language.
