Yes, Smalltalk has been with us for half a century!

Smalltalk reached its zenith of popularity in the early 1990s.

Then it fell from grace with the rise of Java in the late 1990s.

Smalltalk has since languished for the last two decades. I believe the reason is the lack of good PR or marketing.

That’s why I started to advocate for Smalltalk starting in 2015. My main focus has been marketing Smalltalk.

My marketing campaign has culminated in Camp Smalltalk Supreme: https://itnext.io/celebrating-50-years-of-smalltalk-172d4e664d30.
