Another Smalltalk article from the same author ("Richard Kenneth Eng"). He has at least three articles where he considers Smalltalk the best language ever, while simultaneously bashing Common Lisp (& other languages), with claims that show his knowledge of CL is not even superficial.
Plus ignoring that the creator of Smalltalk, Alan Kay, is a fan of Lisp himself and on the early 70s these two were the main languages for OOP and had mutual influence. Not to mention that the early alma mater of Smalltalk, Xerox PARC, was also a center of innovation for Lisp as well.
No problem at all promoting Smalltalk, but when articles are just clickbait-y and have claims with no technical substance, they become articles for their own sake.
