Why the emphasis on "recently?" And how recent are we talking about? Five years? Ten years? Twenty years?

I'm not sure why it matters. Smalltalk has proven itself over four decades in the enterprise market. I have the perspective of a software engineer with over three decades of experience, so I regard anything inside of twenty years as "recent."

Recently, we saw a massive Smalltalk project called JWARS, a theater-level war game simulation commissioned by the US DoD. JWARS consisted of over one million lines of Smalltalk code! In 2010, JWARS was finally decommissioned due to budgetary reasons.

JP Morgan is well-known for Kapital, the world’s most advanced financial risk management and pricing system.

OOCL (Orient Overseas Container LInes) developed their IRIS-2 management system with Smalltalk. When COSCO bought out OOCL in 2018, the company was integrated into COSCO's infrastructure, so IRIS-2 was terminated.

These are just a few stories that I can recall. Are they "recent" enough for you?
