Jonathan Sterling discusses writing fully native Cocoa applications in Smalltalk with F-Script in "Writing Mac OS X applications in Smalltalk"
What I really wanted was a version of Smalltalk that used the same object model as Objective-C, like Pragmatic Smalltalk of Etoilé, or even MacRuby on Mac OS. Most of all, I wanted it to treat me like an adult: I don't need a class browser, thank you, I'm more comfortable working with plain-old files.

It is not really meant for developing full applications, but with a little work, I was able to make this work. Read more…
Thanks a lot for the link!

Fixed. Thanks!
Not sure what “treat me like an adult” has to do with offering a class browser, or image persistence. Is he just trolling?
