I was curious myself, so I dug into where Smalltalk landed in Stack Overflow's developer survey (which, of course, is not a complete overview of the entire programming industry!) - it seems that Smalltalk was the second most Loved language in 2017 [0], but it completely disappears off the chart in 2018 [1]. I would imagine that we've lost quite a few Smalltalk programmers...
