Smalltalk on .NET. Slashdot has a story on Don and John's Smalltalk implementation for .NET. Hat tip to David Buck for pointing this out. [Cincom Smalltalk Blog - Smalltalk with Rants]

I am especially impressed by debugger screenshot -- CLR is really supporting other languages.  (There is no such provision in Java, unfortunately).  I should monitor Mono or dotGNU again.
