James Robertson recently posted this to demonstrate the 'simplicity' of Smalltalk.

Frankly, I'm baffled. Simple? I don't think so. Consider the Ruby equivalent:
def factorial(x)
   raise ArgumentError if x < 0
   return 1 if x <= 1  
   x * factorial( x - 1 )
end

Which would you rather look at? Oh, and Haskell has everyone beat:
fac n | n > 0 = product [1..n]
