This slashdot story reminds me of something - many - possibly most - of the chips manufactured on the planet are built in plants controlled by VisualWorks Smalltalk. AMD controls their fabs with VisualWorks; so does TI. There's a small firm in Texas, Adventa Control Technology - that sells wafer fab control software to a bunch of hardware vendors - which means that all of those outfits use Smalltalk as well. Bottom line - you may well use Java or C# - but it's very likely that a bunch of the chips in the box you use were produced by Smalltalk.

Another thing too - it's almost certainly the case that the computer you use - if it was shipped long haul at any point - arrived via VisualWorks Smalltalk software as well - the vast majority of long haul container shipping runs on Smalltalk as well.
