sad Smalltalk news
Object Arts | Future development of Dolphin discontinued.:
It is with great regret and more than a touch of sadness that I have to announce that Blair and I have made the decision to stop selling and developing Dolphin Smalltalk. We will continue to distribute the free version of Dolphin X6 indefinitely but, as from today, we will not be selling the Professional version. Some limited support will remain in place for existing users of X6 but there will not be a future major release of Dolphin for .net (or Mac or Linux).
I only tinkered briefly with Dolphin, but it looked to be a great system. Commercial success is often independent of technical excellence (Oracle, anyone?).
See the Object Arts announcement for full details. Good luck to Andy and Blair in their future endeavors.
