A fascinating look at a era where having an entire megabyte of RAM was something to brag about.

I suppose if I were a Smalltalk programmer living in the 80s (when this book was written), I would have taken more from it. It contains many insightful discussions regarding how to fit a modern language onto 16-bit processors and into less than a few megs of memory and the trials and lessons learned.
