Nice vision. I want it now :)
I think smalltalk is the best choice for that - you know better than
me of course
However to make a living with it, it has to interface with other IT
systems and standards, so that developers can make an sell a part of
the system.
Pharo has seaside-web on one end but may be something is missing
with relational databases. They are today the heart of business
information systems (I have to try dbx and glorp , odbc is not usable
because of locks)
Side note, I often wondered myself why object databases didn't catch?
Technical issues? Marketing?
Btw, pharo has taken a good direction. Nice work. I'll try and see if
I can help in this field (databases) which is one of my skill
Cheers
