I was recently looking at Amplicate which basically parses social media (Twitter & Facebook) and scores the sentiment and noticed that according to their metrics people really hate smalltalk!
According to their metrics 67% of people HATE smalltalk.
On their programming languages page the expanded view says 77% hate smalltalk!
It is incredible!
Just look at some of the horrible things people had to say:
I hate smalltalk about the weather. There's nothing more redundant.
