Phil Windley, on this talk:

The basis for the talk is Seaside , a web framework for Smalltalk that Avi wrote several years ago. The problem with Seaside is you're not going to use it! There are a lot of interesting ideas in Seaside that people should know, so this tutorial is way of spreading the ideas outside of Smalltalk.

In a nutshell, there's what's wrong with the software industry. People see a fantastic technology, but insist on rewriting it (badly) in other languages because it's "politically correct" to do so. Productivity? Time Saving? ROI? Apparently irrelevant.
