Cheers, Richard Thanks for trying, you took on an impossible job (to promote a programming language full on).
Your last message at the bottom would seem to suggest that we might hear from you again.
Maybe you can find a smaller nice within our ecosystem to work on and contribute to.

I share the words of Sven. Promoting a language is a daunting task and I remember reading on one of your blog posts about serendipity as the other ways the language have to become more mainstream. Popularity of Smalltalk is not my goal, but I bet to serendipity, trying to find a small project that is important enough for me (and others alike) but simple enough to be used as a learning exercise for a newbie. This outliner interactive writing and data visualization idea seems like a good rewarding balance in my case... may you find your serendipity approach to. Best wishes, Offray
