 The default scripting language in StepTalk is [[Smalltalk]]. This is because Smalltalk is a very simple language and it is easy to learn. There are just a few basic principles that the user has to know to be able to use the language and it is close to the natural language.  [[Smalltalk]] uses a similar approach to that of [[Objective-C]], the language used in GNUstep itself.
-'''Object Finders''' are an illusion of single objective environment. Name of an object may me known, but the object itself not. The object may be an application or it may reside on other host. Object Finder is an object that will search for object by specified name.

 StepTalk is the official GNUstep [[Scripting|scripting]] framework. In fact, StepTalk is more than a scripting framework with an illusion of a single objective environment between objects of scriptable servers or applications. StepTalk, when combined with the dynamism that the Objective-C language provides, goes way beyond mere scripting. It is language independent - it uses [[Scripting language bundle|languages as separate bundles]].

-The StepTalk features a framework, set of tools, [[Scripting language bundle|language bundle]], modules and object finders. '''The framework''' provides an application interface for developers to make their products scriptable. For more information about the tools, see [[StepTalk tools]]. Concerning the scripting language, the StepTalk is a '''language independent framework''' It can be extended by the "language bundles" providing other scripting languages.
