To support your view:
A competitor "stole" a large maintenance project from us.
I suggested to someone at my company that they would have trouble recruiting as I assumed we were the biggest smalltalk community in Norway.
Their answer was that we were probably the only real smalltalk community.
They might be wrong, but I haven't seen anything to suggest that yet.
And that competitor kept calling all of my colleagues that had - at any point - worked anywere near smalltalk :-)
Even we do the vast majority of our development in other languages.

- eitland 6y agoAre you looking for a smalltalk job? :-)
- e12e 6y agoIt certainly sounds intriguing...
- eitland 6y agoI sent you a mail to the address in your profile :-) For anyone else, I'm not in a position to hire anyone but if you know Norwegian, Danish or Swedish reasonably well and want an interesting job with nice people (well, if you like people from the Nordic countries) then feel free to ask me. We mostly work on larger systems, some of the systems was born a decade before the youngest persons who maintain them, others are brand new today but will hopefully be equally valuable and live a long life as well :-)
- e12e 6y agoAh, I'm afraid the mx's are still down as a precaution due to the awful opensmtpd bug earlier this year. I'll pling the Gmail in your profile. I really should bring those back up - unfortunately the servers need a bit of an (software/distro) upgrade.
