Smalltalk for Not Yet Techies

Last year, Alan Kay, creator of Smalltalk, received the
2003 Turing Award (or Nobel prize of programming) for his work
creating Smalltalk, the first object oriented
programming language.

One amazing thing is that over the years, Smalltalk has
come out with many versions, including:


Squeak Smalltalk
GNU Smalltalk
Little Smalltalk
Java Smalltalk
PDST
MicroSeeker
PIC/Smalltalk
Sharp #Smalltalk
Pocket Smalltalk
Talks2
Smalltalk
F-Script
Squat Smalltalk
Smalltalk/X
StrongTalk
Ambrai Smalltalk
VisualWorks
ObjectStudio
VisualAge Smalltalk
Dolphin Smalltalk
Smalltalk MT
S# Smallscript
Smalltalk/JVM
OOVM Embedded
Gemstone/S
LSW Vision-Smalltalk
Slate Smalltalk
Zoku Smalltalk
VSE Smalltalk
Smalltalk Express
Smalltalk/V286
Smalltalk/VMac
Smalltalk/V
Smalltalk-80
Vmx QuickNet Smalltalk
Susie Smalltalk

Except for the support of IBM with VisualAge, Smalltalk
apparently seems to be currently in the hands of a small
number of enthusiasts who love the language and are
active in working with it.

So I'm sure it has value as a programming language,
but is not much in demand as a job skill.
