Hi,
I found an interesting nugget at the end of
http://www.forbes.com/sites/gilpress/2015/07/29/turing-award-winner-stonebraker-on-the-future-of-taming-big-data
which is the need to integrate data models in different databases. “If your application is managing what you want to think of as a single database which is in fact spread over multiple engines,” says Stonebraker, “with different data models, different transaction systems, different everything, than you want a next-generation federation mechanism to make it as simple as possible to program.”
This would seem to play to Smalltalk's strengths.
