[self-interest] Questions about Self

[Jason Grossman]

Self looks to me like Smalltalk done right.  I grew up with prototypes 
not classes, and I find Smalltalk hard going for that reason.

I just re-watched Alan Kay's famous talk "The Computer Revolution Hasn't 
Happened Yet", and it sounds to me like a very good argument against 
classes, although I doubt that he meant it to be!
