*NO! NO! NO!*
You'll hate yourself for having used Smalltalk!

If you never use Smalltalk, you might actually like C++, and even think you
are using a high technology OOP Language.

If you learn Smalltalk, you'll know that C++ is a crock, and you'll hate
every line of code you write (and especially every line you have to debug!).
