Would someone please create that PBE image. Many young innovators think Smalltalk has NOT been used for years - and they have inexpensive Linux netbooks with enough RAM and SSD capacity - everything we lacked when Smalltalk was a choice versus C++ ... and then versus Java.
I meet international MA students in CS here and recent BA grads (many are international students going home now) who really think Smalltalk was some research experiment at Microsoft or Apple ... and certainly never used by a bank or an insurance company or a natural gas trader or grain futures trader and definitely not by a telco. They are unaware of the connection of Ruby to ST let alone JavaScript to Self and if they have heard of Traits, they were invented in Scala not Self ... they have never heard of Alan Kay or Dan and the young women have never heard of Adele G.
