It's absolutely amazing how quickly non-programmers can begin doing
useful programming with Smalltalk.  (Of course we've known that since
way back in 1977!)

If you don't like procedural programming you really should try using
Smalltalk (i.e. in the form of the Squeak implementation -- 3.0 is just
out and it includes lots of cool stuff:  www.squeak.org).
