Well, all software applications eventually meet their EOL. IRIS-2 had a good,
long run.

Note that the same thing applies to JWARS. It was EOL'd in 2010, but it was
operational for over a decade. That's pretty damn good!

None of this takes away from Smalltalk's efficacy and power.

A big fan of my work created this rogue video:

I appreciate the homage, but I can't take credit for it.

It's really quite beautiful, though. I'm using it as part of my
evangelism.
