#Smalltalk - Open Source Smalltalk for .NET

Posted by timothy on from the cognitive-dissonance dept.

David Buck writes "John Brant and Don Roberts have released an Open Source Smalltalk compiler and library for .NET called #Smalltalk. This is the first widely available Smalltalk for the .NET platform. #Smalltalk is ANSI compliant and programs written in it compile to DLL's or Windows executables. The compiler is still early in its development, but it looks interesting." (You may recall this earlier mention as well.)

    Not to mention the fact that the entire MSDN library is available for free at http://msdn.microsoft.com/.

    But what am I saying? This is the exact same trolling comment that gets posted wherever and whenever something, anything .NET gets posted. Probably even the same troll.

    My guess is either
    a) It's someone who hates Microsoft so very much that it wouldn't matter if Bill Gates cured Cancer and AIDS tommorow, he'd still be the antichrist
    b) It's someone who has never used anything .NET in his life and doesn't get what it is.
    c) It's someone who has been advocating "non-MS solution X" for years now and is frustrated at the fact that no one's listened yet
    d) It's the same "*BSD is Dying" guy
    e) CowboyNeal
