Title: I&#x27;ve been on a bit of a Smalltalk &#x2F; Squeak &#x2F; message-passing OOP deep-dive as of late and was looking for pointers to good Smalltalk codebases to study that are considered particularly elegant and compact.<p>I&#x27;m especially struck at the moment by what seems to me to be a bit of a contradiction.  In this talk (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=QboI_1WJUlM) from COFES, there&#x27;s a clear push for a kind of simplicity and elegance that seems very opposite to the common criticisms I&#x27;ve seen of OOP, that it too easily results in overly-complex software (one Reddit comment I stumbled across from someone that seemed to have experience working on commercial Smalltalk applications said Smalltalk encourages an explosion of complexity).  I&#x27;m keen to look at some good counter-examples.<p>So, Smalltalkers on HN, what&#x27;s your favorite Smalltalk-family code and why?
