Re:Smalltalk dead? (Score 1)

Hmm - First, Smalltalk is hardly dead. Cincom now owns the VisualWorks implementation (from ParcPlace) as well as the ObjectStudio implementation (originally from Easel). Our sales last year were very strong, and we are exceeding them this year. You can try Cincom Smalltalk out free: http://www.cincom.com/smalltalk And two things: 1) VisualWorks was cross platform and binary portable long, long before Java was even pondered (it's been that way since the late 80's). We were there long, long before Java got there. 2) The site above is implemented in VisualWorks; we actually eat our own dog food. James Robertson Product Manager, Cincom Smalltalk [e-mail]
