I disagree! ;)
It might be lost for standalone applications, right. But this is true
for a lot of other technologies too, like the mentioned Adobe Flash,
which also shows the difficulties of such a strategy. But, IMHO, the
door to this market for Smalltalkers is wide open as long as you insist
to use web-technologies (HTML5, AJAX, SVG et. al.) where Pharo and
frameworks like Seaside or Aida/Web offer you a wide range of
possibilities to develop platform-independent, innovative applications.
Also Adobe justified their decision to drop Flash with the evalution of
the future of these technologies. I am convinced that the future of such
($$$) business or community applications will be the browser.
Just my 5 cents and may of course be completely wrong.
Cheers,
Chris
