I love this video! I'm sad to say that it has nothing at all to do with Smalltalk. Its topic is an attempt to make all programs that run in Linux (and similar systems) able to access each others' data structures, including each others' functions, using new work built on the debugging facilities that unixes already have. The big picture is that so-called static languages actually provide enough information (via debugging mechanisms) so that OTHER languages can treat them as if they were dynamic languages, and (really fun big picture stuff) can potentially automate discovery of their structure to the extent that all languages can interoperate without FFIs.
