[Sorry if this is an often asked question]

Smalltalk is supposedly a pure object-oriented language and I
agree with this, but where do blocks fit in? Blocks are Objects
in their own right (like everything in ST) but have access to
the variables of the Class in which they were defined. How are
these two ideas reconciled?

Thanks

Mark
