I don't share your point here. A name is quite relevant to computing: if we going to talk with computers then to understand each other we need something in common - a language. Small language, which we can understand both and talk on it :)
And that's the most why i like smalltalk - it is small. It is inherently easy to learn and talk on it. Maybe there other language(s) which would make programmer's life as easy as smalltalk does. But i didn't met them yet in my life.
That's all true, but it also indicates to me that you're not familiar
with the original meaning of the word "smalltalk" in English. :) It has strongly negative baggage.
Heh, yes, i'm not native english speaker. :)
