- Smalltalk's true power lies in its evolvability, allowing developers to change the system.
- The FizzBuzz problem can be solved in Smalltalk by inlining code using intervals, messages, and blocks without traditional if-statements.
- Smalltalk's `isDivisibleBy:` method on `Number` is more readable than Java's modulo operator.
- Developers can extend existing classes like `Integer` by adding methods such as `fizzBuzz` directly.
- The `fizzBuzz` method simplifies the algorithm and allows reuse without rewriting it manually.
- Smalltalk supports using symbols like `#fizzBuzz` as concise replacements for blocks in certain contexts.
- The language exemplifies pure object-oriented programming, emphasizing the object-message paradigm for problem-solving.
