Aaron Brady is impressed by Squeak Smalltalk, but asks: "Apart from legacy, why do people still use Smalltalk"? Well, that clearly gets into advocacy - have a look at dynamic updating updating in BottomFeeder - end users can load updates without having to restart. I do the same thing for this blog server. Dynamic typing makes the language much easier to develop in (similar to Python in this regard). The Smalltalk image is implemented in itself, which makes it much, much easier to develop tools in Smalltalk - developers commonly extend their own environments. Why use Smalltalk? Probably the best answers can be gleaned by reading the blogs here and see what the community itself has to say.
