I love how people is so fast to bash the work of others. And I love to see how people can be so arrogant that they can ignore the main principle of communication: give arguments when you state something. Smalltalk is not dead, but is true is not mainstream. Nevertheless, there are companies using it in very large and hard environments (JP Morgan, OCML, etc.) and there are many researchers using it and bringing new cool stuff every year (stuff that in time can or cannot be ported to other languages), for example the research team where I work.

Yes... is not popular as Java, or .NET, or even Python. But banishing a language for not being popular is the worst argument I ever hear.
