- musicale 2y agoYes! The brilliant Dan Ingalls - an inspiration to us all. Thanks for finding the exact quote. I think he also said something like "I never really wanted to program in a language/environment that wasn't (as good as?) Smalltalk." So he (and his colleague(s)) ported Smalltalk into web browsers, used it for system programming, etc. Which brings me to this web site, curated by the man himself: https://smalltalkzoo.thechm.org https://smalltalkzoo.thechm.org
