How can people even know Smalltalk MT still exist with their website and their communication ? I looked at other Smalltalks a while ago, for Smalltalk MT I clicked on "what's new" on their website and I got that: [image: Images intégrées 1] Then I thought this Smalltalk was dead (nothing new in the past 4 years) and I didn't look any further. 2013/12/8 Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr>
Yes - still alive and kicking. But I'm sure you did not notice since there are no "big" announcements or advertising for it. ObjectConnect follows the "time is better invested into technology" strategy. It is one of the most interesting Smalltalks ever implemented.
http://www.objectconnect.com/stmt_overview.htm I like the idea that you can get 50kb applications. Now since this is a closed system and windows-centric. But I like that it shows that Smalltalk does not have to be the image centric way.
The newest ST/MT 6.3 version (now 64 bit) is from end of November 2013
Now it is not a community thing. :) And the web site stop and 5.6 in 2009.
Last time I talk to tarrick he told me that he could control the "no gc in the next 250 frames on PS2" but it was in 1998 :)
