Perhaps this is a distorted reference to the Python .NET work? (The
trip report is written in a fairly scattered way, so it's hard to
figure out if that's the case.) Judging from the Web site at
www.qks.com, they're working on Smalltalk for .NET,
Another interesting quote from the Wednesday keynote by David Thomas:
But I'm not suggesting you put young people on a
pedestal. Look at some other communities they are highly
regard but have little to say. We had the Python guy come talk
at a conference and he gave us the same talk that Adele
Goldberg gave years ago as something new. We were
saddened. But what we have done is created a Smalltalk black
hole were no ideas or light gets out. The Python guys
rediscover our work and they become front page news.
So Perl, Python, Ruby, Mumps, even APL have active
newsletters, and publish things. Way more of a community than
Smalltalk. Hey a conference on visual programming language in
Education is coming up, but where are the Smalltalk people.
Indeed.
