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.
