Via Tim Bray, I see that the all too common air of superiority in the Smalltalk community is hardly limited to the Smalltalk community. At a PHP conference Tim attended, this came up in Q&A:
In the plenary Q&A, one question was
“ActiveRecord for PHP?” and another was “What do
you think of Rails?” The answer to the first was more or
less, “We’re not convinced that’s an appropriate
direction” and to the second was frankly snotty: “Ruby
is appropriate for computer-science-loving people who have a
puristic [sic] attitude”.
I'm starting to think that the only difference between the "Smalltalk arrogance" people sense and the arrogance of other communities is the number of people involved.
