Title: Smalltalk on the Rise.
Authors: Yen-Ping Shan, Viktor K.

Subjects: Smalltalk (Computer program language), Programming languages, Object-oriented programming, Competition, Vendors (Real property), Electronic data processing
Abstract: Smalltalk has become the fastest growing object-oriented programming language. Many organizations, large and small, are developing and deploying their applications using Smalltalk. As a result, Smalltalk skills are in high demand. Smalltalk consultants and trainers are booked solid for months in advance. A special report on Smalltalk explores the emergence of this programming language from academic computing into the mainstream production environment, with the successes and failures common to any emerging technology, and the lessons learned along the way. The statements that follow explore the overall philosophy behind the language, its application in solving real-world problems, and a broad range of the issues raised by its rapid growth. For a language to become a mainstream development language, it has to be standardized. With Smalltalk, the need for standards has arisen out of the growing acceptance of the language; in turn the development of standards fuels further growth by protecting the investment of Smalltalk users and fostering healthy competition among vendors.
