"Smalltalk is one of the most influential programming languages, inspiring the
object-oriented programming paradigm; the world of graphical user interfaces;
and live coding, which allows you to modify your code while it’s running and
debug it on the fly. Some of the top programming languages of today—including
Java and Ruby—as well as languages such as Lisp and Objective-C have elements
of Smalltalk in them. While not widely popular today, Smalltalk is still being
used to power applications in variousindustries.
For Smalltalk’s 50th anniversary this year, we spoke with Adele Goldberg, who
codeveloped the language along with Alan Kay and Dan Ingalls."
