[self-interest] Smalltalk basics first?

[Ian Woollard]

Self is if anything a simpler language, so learning Smalltalk first is
probably a harder route. But Self is slightly more powerful than
Smalltalk (although the Self libraries aren't as good).

So there's largely unnecessary complexities that you would face in
learning Smalltalk.

But it depends on why you're learning Self in the first place.
