To quote from The Wisdom of the Crowd <https://hackernoon.com/the-wisdom-of-the-crowd-c7aff954bd5f> :
The crowd is indeed wise. This wisdom shows up in the latest StackOverflow survey <https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2017#technology-most-loved-dreaded-and-wanted-languages> , as well. Under “Most Loved Languages,” Smalltalk shows up in clear second place (after Rust and before TypeScript, Swift, Go, Python, Elixir, and C#). This shows that people who’ve used Smalltalk love the language and are loyal to it. It also shows, by inference, that the programming community is not aware of how good Smalltalk is. Most in the community wallow in ignorance over it. /If they were to try Smalltalk programming, the language would very likely become popular./ itli...@schrievkrom.de wrote > I do not want to spoil the party (perhaps I've done this already) - but > has anyone done a serious inspection of this number: 67%. > > They have interviewed 64000 persons and 67% of the people should "love" > Smalltalk?
