In honor of the 1972 programing language we are naming our "Blog", "Small Talk".
Smalltalk is an object-oriented, dynamically typed reflective programming language. Smalltalk was created as the language underpinning the "new world" of computing exemplified by "human–computer symbiosis".[2] It was designed and created in part for educational use, specifically for constructionist learning, at the Learning Research Group (LRG) of Xerox PARC.
The language was first generally released as Smalltalk-80. Smalltalk-like languages are in active development and have gathered loyal communities of users around them. ANSI Smalltalk was ratified in 1998 and represents the standard version of Smalltalk.[3]
Smalltalk took second place for "most loved programming language" in the Stack Overflow Developer Survey in 2017,[4] but it was not among the 26 most loved programming languages of the 2018 survey.[5]
