Unfortunately for billion dollar companies its turtles all the way

I'd like to get back to the task at hand -- evaluating rapid
prototyping environments.
Hmm..this leads me to ask the question:
Who of us currently uses Smalltalk/Squeak?
If so, which implementation?
So I presume the answer is nobody is currently using the contender
for most

BTW: I'm starting to think answer is that rapid prototyping has
splintered into pieces:
Excel: great for fast exploration of data
R: great for fast statistical evaluation

I'd be interested in your experiences. We often talk about rapid
prototyping, but we seldom actually do it. But my friends at PARC in
the early days, and a couple of

Alright, I give up - why do fun languages like Python or more fun
languages like Squeak
get passed over in the market compared to rather annoying languages like
Java?
How come they haven't been as competitive as say Linux as a server OS
platform?

I just found an interesting Python/Self/Squeak sorta blend -- PataPata:
