Apparently Smalltalk died 10 years ago. I'd say someone shot it with a gun a couple of times.. but to quote Smallville:
"Don't wound what you can't kill"
Smalltalk has been clawing back with a vengence. From Web Services to Seaside web frameworks to New GUI Paradigms called Pollock and integration with Web Standards using WithStyle to a new Industry Council and new 3D collaborative worlds called Croquet and new Smalltalk Solution Conferences, this year held in conjuction with Linux World and Network World. Careful! We're out there and we're still innovating and acting as thought leaders.
