Smalltalk – Zero to Hero
by Thomas, Arden March 24, 2017

March 24, 2017

Smalltalk – Zero to Hero The 2017 StackOverflow developer survey results are out! Two years ago we noticed no mention of Smalltalk at all in a popular developer survey. A year ago we got a foot in the door, but this year Smalltalk developers had the full opportunity to participate. https://stackoverflow.com/insights/survey/2017#technology-most-loved-dreade… #2 in the list of “Most Loved” languages! We feel this better reflects the impact and continuing value of Smalltalk as a choice for developers. Thank you for your participation. If you missed it, there is always next year!
