That's also what my first thought was: .Isn't 2020 the 40th BIrthday of
Smalltalk? Not sure anyone who wasn't there at Xerox can judge this. I
guess the ignition for many of the concepts our favourite environment
are built upon dat eback into the 60ies...
I personally celebrate Smalltalk every (working) day. I enjoy the fun
and productivity each time I find a way to solve a problem at hand.

Did Smalltalk start with Smalltalk-72 or Smalltalk-80? (Or 1969, when work
on it began..??)
ST-72 was an internal release; ST-80 was its first public release, in 1980.
I've always thought that 1980 was the birthday, so this year it turns 40...
Am I wrong?
What's the consensus? Is it customary to go by the project start date, the
first stable version, the first release to the public, or what?
