I am sorry to report that there has been very little activity on the essay front. No one seems willing to make the time to write an essay supporting the Smalltalk language.
I find it a little bit sad that people won't fight for the language they love so much. It's as if all the fight has been squeezed out of them. Why? Perhaps they feel dejected by all the previous failed attempts to popularize Smalltalk. It's understandable.
But I encourage you to think of Smalltalk Renaissance as a new day. This is a new type of opportunity. There is buzz in the cybersphere once again. People are visiting our websites.
You can, and must, help. Take this opportunity to address their concerns about Smalltalk. And reiterate the benefits. Convince them. You may or may not be successful, but at least you will have given your best effort.
Please understand: Visitors to our websites who find nothing compelling may never return again. We only get one shot at this.
It doesn't require a great deal of time. Most of my posts for the SRP were written within an hour, at least, as a draft. I can polish your essay for you; hence, your contribution is not that demanding.
Don't make excuses. Either you love Smalltalk, or you don't. Fight for what you love.
