WHAT DOES SQUEAK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Squeak

The Squeak programming language is a dialect of Smalltalk. It is object-oriented, class-based and reflective. It was derived directly from Smalltalk-80 by a group at Apple Computer that included some of the original Smalltalk-80 developers. Its development was continued by the same group at Walt Disney Imagineering, where it was intended for use in internal Disney projects. Squeak is available for many platforms, and programs produced on one platform run bit-identical on all other platforms. The Squeak system includes code for generating a new version of the virtual machine on which it runs. It also includes a VM simulator written in Squeak itself. For this reason, it is easily ported.
