Feed Description: James Robertson comments on Cincom Smalltalk, the Smalltalk development community, and IT trends and issues in general.
First off, have a look at this post below - Cincom is profitable, and has been in business a long time. We are still supporting products that were released back at the founding of the firm. Second, the Smalltalk team is profitable within Cincom, and represents a sizable percentage of Cincom's overall revenues. Third, have a look at our product roadmap - we are moving Cincom Smalltalk aggressively forward in multiple directions - which is quite different than the message you'll get from some of the competition. Is Smalltalk a safe choice? It most certainly is - if you go with a committed vendor!
