Comment on Smalltalk simplicity and consistency vs. other languages (2022) [video]parent

Comments

Is it actively developed? Tried to use it once, but the class browser didn't work under Ubuntu or Debian. At least not in the version available at the repositories.

Sadly it seems to be abandoned. It is not "real" Smalltalk, it is more like just yet another scripting languag, so no class browser.

Last time I checked the mailing list there was a bit of activity.

It hasn't got much activity there, but it's not dead.

I still use it anyway.

It actually has one, gst-browser, but IIRC, it relies on a GTK version that is too old, so when we attempt to run it, GNU Smalltalk crashes.
