You conveniently ignored the rest of my post. There are many good reasons to adopt this new programming model. The key one is super productivity.

It’s not hard to sell this to the business world. Productivity means lower development costs and shorter “time to market.” In fact, there are many enterprise Smalltalk users. Check out Cincom, Instantiations, and GemTalk Systems, three major Smalltalk vendors.

Smalltalk is very popular in the financial industry. Companies like JP Morgan, Desjardins, and UBS use Smalltalk. It’s also popular with utility companies and manufacturing/engineering companies like Florida Power & Light, Telecom Argentina, Siemens AG, BMW, and Thales, the French engineering giant.

In fact, most of these companies prefer to keep their Smalltalk development under wraps because they use it as a secret weapon against their competitors.

Smalltalk is not “stuck in the 70s.” Pharo is a modern variant of Smalltalk created in 2008 to address today’s needs. It plays well with external tools like git and Docker.
