That said, Smalltalk is overrated.
- greendestiny 16y agoI think its probably more fair to say that after many years of being massively underrated and overlooked the lip service which computer science pays to Smalltalk is way higher than the actual amount of work put into the ecosystem around the language.
- bhiggins 16y agoSmalltalk is like Libertarianism. It allows for those who find reality too difficult or hard to understand an escape to an ideology that is simple, elegant, and wrong.
