Isn’t this the wrong question to ask? I’m assuming this is to do with
Smalltalk’s 50th anniversary, and of course we are grateful to those early
pioneers who did lots of work in the field 20-30 years ago but to me that’s the
old history and while it’s interesting to call out, it doesn’t shed lif
I forgot to mention in my answer - this should in no way detract from the
visions of other projects some of which I’m less familiar with - Squeak, Cuis,
GT, SqueakJS, Livey, Caffeine… I’m in awe of all of them…
And I think that’s my point - it’s the communities and the work they do to
promote
I agree wholeheartedly with Tim. I first started with Smalltalk in the
Digitalk days. My experience then and throughout my Smalltalk experience
with VW, Squeak, etc., I have never had a community that helped me learn
and embrace Smalltalk like Pharo and the Pharo Community. To me, if I

In terms of widespread availability and durability across implementations,
the guys that made Seaside deserve a big shout out.

If you knew Digitalk then remember the contribution that Eric Clayberg provided
through the old Compuserve forums. A lot of us would never have got started if
we hadn’t had that support. Eric’s knowledge and help got me going back with
Mac System 7 and Digitalk back in 1990.

I'd like to call Stephan Ducasse for special mention for providing the

And I'd like to mention all the other people who contributed to the

what/the only thing that drives new users to come to Smalltalk is Pharo, and

Thanks to everyone for some great suggestions.
I’m coming around to the notion that I asked the wrong question. In the context
of Smalltalk’s 50th anniversary, the reason I asked the question is because I
noted that in APL’s 50th anniversary celebration, they gave an award to the one

Tudor Girba and his colleagues at feenk need to be recognized, too.
In many respects, they have pushed Smalltalk to do things that, I think,
the original designers would have heartily endorsed.

I guess I agree on the question being wrong.
There are quiet a few people I think did incredibly important things,
not only to Smalltalk. What about the people behind the Refactoring
Browser (John Brant? and I guess a few less prominent people who did
some of the groundwork), for example? Seas
