Markdown vs Smalltalk: What are the differences?
Developers describe Markdown as "Text-to-HTML conversion tool/syntax for web writers, by John Gruber". Markdown is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax; and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text formatting to HTML. On the other hand, Smalltalk is detailed as "An object-oriented, dynamically typed reflective programming language". It is an object-oriented, dynamically typed reflective programming language. It was created as the language underpinning the "new world" of computing exemplified by "human–computer symbiosis". It was designed and created in part for educational use, specifically for constructionist learning.
Markdown and Smalltalk can be primarily classified as "Languages" tools.
