From: Rik Sprague 

At the Rochester Forth Conference last June, there was a paper by some
people at Kriya Systems (a.k.a. the "Typing Tutor" people) called 
"Forth meets Smalltalk" describing their object-oriented version of
Forth that is up and running on the Mac.  I don't think they have plans
to market it (although I don't know for sure), but what I saw was 
impressive.  It makes it a LOT easier to talk to Quickdraw when you have
some notion of classes and objects.

I can give a lot more information about this if more people are interested.
