Feed Description: James Robertson comments on Cincom Smalltalk, the Smalltalk development community, and IT trends and issues in general.
Dan Kaley writes an obituary for Smalltalk - based on the release of VAST NC. Fascinating. Does he know that IBM released that over a year ago? Does he realize that VisualWorks has been available for NC download since 1997? Heck, if you think no serious work is going into Smalltalk, just grab VWNC 3.0 from the VW Wiki, then download the latest from the Cincom site. Now, after taking a look, explain to me how Smalltalk is dead. Yeesh. Next time, do a google search and follow some of the links instead of just reposting some of the tinfoil hat theories from the slashdot crowd. Hat tip to Steve Hunter for pointing this silliness out to me.
