The #Smalltalk compiler implements Smalltalk to run
natively on the .NET framework. It was written by
John Brant and
Don Roberts and is available
under the
Open Software License version 1.1.
The #Smalltalk compiler allows you to use
classes from ordinary .NET programs. In fact, many of the standard ANSI
Smalltalk classes provided by #Smalltalk are just wrappers around standard
.NET classes. For example, the OrderedCollection class is a wrapper around
the ArrayList provided by .NET.

#Smalltalk has a
class library that is mostly compatible
with the ANSI Smalltalk standard. Therefore, you should be able to run
most ANSI compatible Smalltalk code. While the class library includes
classes for the ANSI standard, there aren't many classes for other items.
For example, currently, there aren't any classes for GUI development. It
is planned to add such support, but so far it hasn't been done. What do
you expect from a few months work?
