Sebastian you are absolutely correct, I did not understand that he was referring to a stereotype that ruby community has about smalltalk. I apologize. On Mon, Apr 28, 2014 at 8:27 PM, Sebastian Sastre < sebastian@flowingconcept.com> wrote:

very cool presentation. Definitely you need to add this to the new website.
Question : Why in every presentation we have to apologise why smalltalk is dead / extinct ?
Is not on video but for whatâs worth, I donât know from were you take that impression but Iâm pretty sure that what you described in the previous paragraph was *not* the impression the audience got from my talk.
âDead / extinctâ for the industry is a matter of nailing it when you expose talent and the tools that can expand it. Can you do cool projects with it? if you do then thatâs your place, good for you, go for more, and give something in return.
The hard work of this community is continuing the legacy of an inspiring legend.
A legend that inspires them when you take the time and effort to break with self-serving tasks and start to expose it instead
As a newcomer to Smalltalk I find it quite annoying. Its not as if I came to Smalltalk without knowing that is not popular. The vast majority of languages out there are so more unpopular than Smalltalk, yet they don't have this "sorry that I am dead" mentality to them.
