You've decided to expand your horizons. You've been programming exclusively in Java (or C++, or Perl, or Ruby) for a while now. You're happy and productive, but you have this nagging feeling that you're solving problems by rote rather than thinking as creatively as you once did. Learning a new language, especially one that forces you to re-examine some of your notions about software development, may be just the ticket.

Not to start a flame war or anything, just wondering:
What does Smalltalk have to offer me that Python doesn't? I'm not familiar with Smalltalk, but I have been working heavily in Python for a little over 16 months now (I have a fairly extensive background in PC programming languages though).
I read the article, and some parts of Smalltalk remind me strongly of Object Pascal (Borland's version, anyway).
