Instantiations es dueña de VA Smalltalk (VA = Visual Age, hace unos 15 años VA era de IBM) y es la creadora de WindowBuilder, una interfaz para crear GUIs en Smalltalk de manera drag and drop y cuyo fuente está en Smalltalk y pesa algo así como 20 Kb.
Tutoriall de WindowBuilder para Smalltalk/V: www.math.rsu.ru/*smalltalk* /StExpress/WbCh1GettingStarted.pdf Hace que Visual Basic se vea complicado. Desde el punto de vista de la innovación, les sacan un peso de encima, dejando que Instantiationse concentre en lo que sabe hacer. Desde el punto de vista de la capacidad para generar ingresos, claramente el mercado Java es más profundo que el de Smalltalk. Si Google comercializa el producto o lo regala da más o menos lo mismo, se puede reimplementar en Java. Si nadie lo ha hecho es de flojera. Lo único que lamento es que probablemente haya claúsulas en el contrato que impidan que Instantiations se vuelva a meter en Java por un tiempo, de modo que puede innovar mucho, pero no podrá capitalizar esa innovación por un buen tiempo.
