Agreed. My biggest issues are non-multiplatform - development and deployment (specifically iOS/mobile support -in a single downloadable IDE). And while I love Pharo, and all the brilliant people who work very hard to make it the best Smalltalk environment available... I shouldn’t have to struggle for months trying to build a usable GUI front end. An LTS model may go a long way in this area, or it could just keep all the cool stuff from ever seeing the light of day. :)
All that said, I have preferred Smalltalk since my earliest introductions in the early Digitalk days. I went on to Java and C# - and I can easily build UI’s and deploy multi-platform in these environments...
- but I really, REALLY like and prefer Smalltalk.
Cheers everyone!
