Too bad JPMorgan didn't stick with Smalltalk. It seems that most of the big success stories come from the 1990s and perhaps early 2000s. It would be *real nice* to have a big success story from the last 10 years; otherwise, it's hard to counter the notion that Smalltalk is hardly used any more. Given what I have to work with, I could only come up with this <https://medium.com/smalltalk-talk/who-uses-smalltalk-c6fdaa6319a> . It's a little apologetic, but what can I do? Esteban A.

Wow, the article about JPMorgan is extremely thin in terms of details! Most of it is just marketing-speak. It's hard to write a meaningful piece with so little content.
Is there anything else that provides substantial content???
JP Morgan tried to replace most of their Smalltalk code since then, and after many failed attempts they migrated most of the Kapital system to Python, except for the exotics derivatives software, they failed on every attempt. It seems to be too complex and very well solved with the current implementation in Smalltalk.
JPMC have thousands of developers and ~100 of them develop with Smalltalk on a VisualWorks+GemBuilder+GemStone/S software.
