We have a couple of essays published at Smalltalk renaissance <https://smalltalkrenaissance.wordpress.com/category/essays/> . *We need more.*
This is our opportunity to answer the questions, concerns, and criticisms of non-Smalltalk developers, an opportunity afforded by the SRP, which is drawing much new attention to Smalltalk. We should exploit this opportunity and not waste it.
Suggested essay topics include:
- talk about actual use of Smalltalk in the enterprise
Sorry, I've not programmed for an enterprise - expand on the much-touted productivity advantage of Smalltalk (many
people are skeptical)
Really hard to say without empirical data, otherwise it is just subjective and hearsay.
- explain how the experience of using the Smalltalk environment is superior to that of Eclipse, IntelliJ, Visual Studio, etc.
Never really used them.
- talk about future developments in Smalltalk, eg, concurrency features, new IDEs, new tooling, etc.
This is where good things are happening - but others are better placed.
- any other topics you may deem noteworthy
So, please, contribute an essay. /Without you, there is no campaign./
Send all submissions to my personal email: horrido.hobbies at gmail dot com.
Thanks.
