I use Smalltalk nearly every day, it's my prototyping / experimentation substrate. I've also done several interactive presentations and taught classes using Squeak as the medium. I'm convinced that Smalltalk was so far ahead of its time, that it will take several decades [if it happens at all] before "programmers" get equivalent functionality from mainstream development platforms. Which is fine by me, since I am an EE by day and view programming as an artistic process thus do it for fun, not money. Which is another reason why Smalltalk failed in the market. It was made by geniuses and was aimed at art & research, not a bunch of cogs stuck in cubicles.
