Everybody is a looser if you frame it in that perspective. That game is not interesting, nor strategy wise. An interesting alternative is to create the opportunity for people to take their bite on the Java market and if they can do it, as small as it might be that’s all that really counts. James is already one of those someone will make it when the demand is felt. If Redline Smalltalk saves significant costs to a company that has invested heavy in something JVM-ish then you will have their attention. Productivity is one of the strongest opportunities for Smalltalk unless our tools UI/UX sucks so bad it get deteriorated or the world catches up. And we have control over the UI/UX we provide. Have you ever thought that AngularJS is essentially a Google strategy to bite Java’s market <http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2015/01/the_problem_wit.html>?
