Smalltalk is almost exactly what you propose that a programming environment might be like, but you find it "heavy and unwieldy" What does this tell us?.keithbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314542307822401015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23912478.post-19259622990717352052008-06-09T14:34:00.000+01:002008-06-09T14:34:00.000+01:00Hi Keith,You make a good point.

In my head I was asking the question more of mainstrem, widely used, languages. <BR/><BR/>Admittedly, I know of smalltalk mostly from others. I've only fiddled with it a little bit.<BR/><BR/>Smalltalk is a great language but the runtime environment is heavy and unwieldy. The demand for Smalltalk components is small. It seems to me, in general, not well suited for business and wide deployment.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>-Rick MinerichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
