Juan Manuel Vuletich has released a current
Squeak ported for OS2. Get it at:

os2english.htm
Squeak is the open source smalltalk. It comes
with, or rather is, an entire development
environment with many surprises. Squeak
applications run bit-identical on just about
every OS and hardware architecture in common
(and not so common) use.
Juan's port includes full network access and
handles native sound and uses DIVE for fast
video. This latest version of Squeak comes with
Midi support, a web browser and server, an
email application, shockwave support, a 3D
animation system, remote update and authoring,
and more. By the way, Squeak is written in
itself - you can inspect, change and extend any
part of the language, application, or even the
virtual machine, while it is running.
Smalltalk is a pure OO language that been
around for a long time. Squeak is a dialect
that is highly compatible with Smalltalk-80
(the historical standard). The team behind
Squeak includes the original authors of
Smalltalk (including Alan Kay of PARC fame).
They mostly hide out at Disney (after living at
Apple for a few years). Squeak is evolving
rapidly.
Squeak should be of special interest to the OS2
community. This is a this is a state-of-the-art
cross-platform language and development system.
It deserves a careful look by everyone
interested in OO programming. It is also way
more fun. (WARNING: this stuff is addictive).
