Re:Ask HN: Examples of elegant, non-trivial Smalltalk? by hilaire on Friday July 29, 2016 @11:31PM (#12191490)
I like a lot this small code example http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/726369/when-does-the...

It results in an interactive diagram of the Newton Raphson method to search for a zero of a function. The user explores with mouse how the algorithm is working.

It is only a few lines of Smalltalk code over the Dr. Geo interface. IMHO, the Smalltalk message system brings well balanced expressiveness on the resulting code.
