> the implementation language for the Xerox UI that was demonstrated to Steve Jobs Sorry, I have to correct you on that. Or rather, clarify the proper construction of it, which is: narrow. In https://www.albertcory.io/inventing-the-future https://www.albertcory.io/inventing-the-future, I talk about Smalltalk a lot. It was not used for the Xerox Star, and there was only a limited demo of the UI done in Smalltalk. No one seriously considered building Star on it. However, you're right in that the PARC demo to Jobs did make heavy use of Smalltalk. That's because the demo was done by PARC and not by the Star developers, and they showed him the ideas that inspired Star, ideas that had existed for years before he came.
