I don't agree at all about Java and C++ but you are completely right about
Smalltalk. You don't need to use it that much to really get OO. Just play
with it awhile and it will make you a better coder in any language that
supports OO.
Smalltalk used to be really expensive and resource consuming but with Squeak
it's accessible to everyone.
Smalltalk is also the most fun language to code in.
