Feed Description: James Robertson comments on Cincom Smalltalk, the Smalltalk development community, and IT trends and issues in general.
This presentation discusses reasons for the marked increase in interest and usage of Smalltalk that we are seeing. This touches on Smalltalk's history (briefly), its influence on other languages, and what the other languages missed. The presentation identifies specific features that were missed by the other languages, and suggest that these features, along with other reasons, are part of the renewed interest seen in Smalltalk today.
