Dolphin Smalltalk. Such an underrated tool. Productivity + Windows-native gui. Nothing else like it. The Pharo Spec/2 pales in comparison.

IF you are developing a Windows-only application.

Yup, and that is the reason I refused to look at it for so long. And then I went to work for a large corporate where Windows is mandated since forever and will be until eternity. And from my impression most businesses wont touch any other OS for use on desktops.

You can of course use Wine/Wineskin and there are guides on how to get this done for Dolphin apps, but I just wont bother for my clients. Not one has ever mentioned compatibility with anything other than Windows 10.

True, but more and more software is delivered using web-based technologies - from desktop apps like Slack to most SaaS offerings.

Me. It is my go-to tool to build everything/prototype. It is the most productive tool I know of to get things up and running. There is nothing like it. I also know Python, Lua and various Schemes, but they do not come close. Smalltalk presents the smallest barrier between idea and working code for me.

Especially if with the "live in the debugger" type of development where you write a test and get the debugger to tell you the next step.

Try it, you might like it.
