The problem is that there is so much hype about marketing thats easy to miss the enormous fact that languages like C, C++, Java and Python are not as popular as they are even with their big flaws without substance , without solving some serious problem that requires serious resources . Foremosts those languages have been evolving for decades , take Python
and I am NOT talking the language itself I am talking the most popular python implementation and the oldest , CPython, its 24 years.
Let me repeat this...
CPython IS�� 24 years OLD !!!!
There is none smalltalk implementation that I am aware of that has been actively developed for so long even though smalltalk as a language is far older than that.
Now imagine where Pharo will be in 24 years.... wow.... it blows my mind just trying to imagine.
