The irony of your comments about so much looking like C is that C, itself, looks SO MUCH like BCPL. ;) It's funny, at school in the early 1980s, we learned BASIC and had a few lessons on "other languages exist" and Smalltalk was very briefly covered as "just a teaching language not really useful for real programming". Never has such an important language been sold so short. But listening to some of Alan Kay's aims it's finally easier to see where this misconception came from.
