Re: [squeak-dev] Smalltalk customers

There's a list of Cincom success stories at http://www.cincom.com/common/success-stories/ although I think it mixes all of them, and doesn't separate out the Smalltalk ones. I didn't see anyone mention JP Morgan's derivatives business yet, which is definitely in there. Or AMD's semiconductor manufacturing. There should be a presentation from Thor Raabe at Smalltalk Solutions a few years back talking about a different semiconductor manufacturing story. The Q&A for that had the lovely quote "Q: So what percentage of the silicon chips in the world would you say pass through a machine controlled by Smalltalk at some point during their fabrication. A: I'd have to say 100%"

And of course there's Key Technology's french-fry and other food sorting equipment - not the sort of domain people often think about.

Oddly, I couldn't seem to get to the marketing success stories from the cincomsmalltalk.com site <nudges Jim Robertson>.

Hi, I would like to present Smalltalk to my colleagues because they all think it's an old language of no interest which nobody uses. To prove them they are false, I would like to build a list of companies who are using Smalltalk every day. Can you please give me the names of your companies if they are using Smalltalk?

One of IBM Rational line of products (Requisite Pro ?) is written in

I've seen a stack trace googling for Smalltalk on .ibm.com ...
