Nothing technically as a language other than it was image based, leading to some interesting problems in large systems development. It's problem was that it failed to continue to gain traction when Java arrived and started to steam-roller it in commercial use. No-one chose to take up the role of champion of Smalltalk against Java. Unlike Lisp (which is unique and has a unique position in software), I can't see Smalltalk making comeback after comeback. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@russel.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
