The future of programming is a language of the seventies: Smalltalk. Smalltalk tooling and interactivity is years ahead of actual platforms.
- azeirah 11y agoI'm definitely going to take a more in-depth look to Smalltalk. Smalltalk -was- mentioned in the article at the end.
- joshuapants 11y agoWhat are some good current Smalltalk implementations? The only one I've really heard of is Pharo.
- marvel_boy 11y agoTry Squeak http://squeak.org http://squeak.org It is a good implementation and has a very friendly community.
- joshuapants 11y agoLooking at that (and Pharo) it seems like all applications run inside the development environment. Is that correct?
- setpatchaddress 11y agoThat's at least some of the reason Smalltalk is useful. It's also probably the main reason Smalltalk has never taken off.
- rurban 11y agoNot really. Strongtalk was never continued, even if now open. Lisp is the old and new smalltalk, and to some Ruby is the new smalltalk for dummies.
