What about StepTalk? (http://steptalk.host.sk) I am using it for testing of 
libraries and frameworks. Smalltalk syntax is similar to the ObjectiveC and it 
is easy to rewrite programs from one language to another (in both directions). 
In addition, you can test GDL interactively by using the StepTalk shell 
(http://www.steptalk.host.sk/stshell.html).

Some time ago I have already created GDL2 module for steptalk, because I wanted 
to learn GDL.

Moreover, I think, that using StepTalk can help it to get improved.

I can give you more information, if you are interested.

What do you think?
