How does the Smalltalk book compare to "Object-Oriented Software Construction" by Meyer? The latter is my goto OO book (in combination with "Object Oriented Design Heuristics" by Riel)
"Object-Oriented Software Construction" uses Eiffel which is an excellent OO language especially for explaining certain OO related concepts. Preconditions, postconditions, invariants (design by contract) etc.
That's why I'd be quite interested in a comparison because Smalltalk is another excellent OO language (arguably the best for explaining concepts etc. but I'd say Eiffel is close enough)

It is better. C++ is not what the creator of OO had in mind. (Smalltalk is).
