Who actually uses Smalltalk? All I've ever seen is people talking about how great it is. What are some big examples of popular open source or commercial softwar

  The original version of the programming language Scratch was written in it.

  I know Intercontinental Exchange (a sort of meta exchange that owns other exchanges like the NYSE) uses Smalltalk pretty heavily. They use Gemstone as their DB.

    >(a sort of meta exchange that owns other exchanges like the NYSE) You mean the company that owns NYSE.

      I mean what I said.

        OK, maybe I am wrong. There is a company called Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. Please provide any evidence that there is an exchange or meta exchange named Intercontinental Exchange.

  I know one very large corporation that uses it. I think that is the general pattern of it, that big companies who are very interested in not telling you what they use, use it. You probably can get the case studies from http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/main/ http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/main/

  About one-third of container ships traffic is managed using Gemstone database. JP Morgan, Lifeware, Lam research and others use Smalltalk. A lot of smaller companies use Seaside (web framework). There is Moose platform for software and data analysis etc. Pharo itself is a big open-source project.
