The biggest problem with Smalltalk is it was never finished,
either as a computer language or as an operating system. The
whole library should have been managed like the Terse Guide,
instead of allowing non-terse garbage additions like the HALO
around windows. It seems many Smalltalk sandbox players never
had a life where they learned computers were invented to
automate things instead of make partially developed features
that actually require more human work and telling everyone else
to join in and do the work that should have been done before the
new feature was released. Another parallel is with the mess
that is Christianity today compared to the original Gospel of
Jesus Christ. <br>

<div>Here is my effort toward straightening out Christianity. <a

Maybe you can learn how pursuing truth could straighten out
computers instead of engaging in another international
Smalltalk like hype fest as has taken hold in Neural Network
based Artificial Intelligence.</div>

<div dir="ltr">It sounds like Squeak has a
parallel to to the Peter Principle - it has been
promoted to its level of incompetence. What
version uses good old ASCII text only? and how
do I get it? I wonder if it would get the job
done quicker to return to an old computer with
GWBasic than to become an expert on stuff I do
not want to learn which might be done easier in
almost any other language including the macro
language of some word processing package? THE
BALLOON IS FALLING, THE BALLOON IS FALLING! If
Ward Cunningham's Wki on why Smalltalk is Dead
were still open for updates, this discovery
would make a good addition.</div>

<div>Mature people take responsibility for their
failings instead of looking around for a scapegoat
to blame. of course, the immature approach could
end up getting you elected President of the USA, so
don't take my statement as encouragement to change
your ways. But if you want to use Squeak
effectively you might learn to criticise
constructively and think positively. You might end
up being happier. Until then keep flailing about
and avoid mirrors.</div>
