  I find it somewhat amazing that the orders of magnitude difference isn't larger.

    The problem isn't the two orders of magnitude difference in population. It's why more of the Java community hasn't clued into this bellweather relationship. This would make developments in the Smalltalk world also news in the Java world. This pattern has been in place for over a decade now, why so little clue?

      WTF are you talking about? Smalltalk is regularly and routinely brought up as a major influence on Java, and a ton of the Java papers directly cite Smalltalk research. Are you serious?
