Ausome, I keep an eye out for your work then.

I think smalltalk could be a really good framework for network management.  
The best
product in the space today is an object oriented system written in C++.  But 
of course
they have all the porting issues for changes and new platforms.  I think a 
smalltalk based
version could run circles around them because of the platform support alone, 
once it
gets some tools (like SNMP tools, etc).

Java wasn't usable because at the time (don't know if they fixed this or 
not) could not
create a raw IP packet needed to do ICMP pings.
