So then, maybe a better question to ask is Why does smalltalk not have a killer application? It was used to pioneer GUIs back in the 60's, why didn't it maintain that popularity?
- protomyth 6y agoYou need developers for that killer app and most killer apps don't come out of big companies. The vendors made sure the little developer wasn't welcome.
