I'm curious how you get Smalltalk like productivity on objective C? I thought the productivity on Smalltalk comes from its live programming environment?

No, it also comes from it's expressiveness and flexibility (at runtime).

It's not like Smalltalk is a bad language that just happened to have a productive live programming environment.

It's one of the best languages out there, and conceptually stands alongside Lisp et al.
