It depends on how one interprets the last paragraph. Yours is one interpretation, and one that never occurred to me.
I didn't see it as "demoting" other languages. The paragraph in no way criticizes other languages. It simply suggests that Smalltalk offers many more resources for evangelism. It's all relative. I happen to like Dart, Elixir, Golang, Julia, and Rust. But be honest: do these languages provide nearly as many reasons to choose them? I'm not being deprecatory. Esteban A.
