I often hear that Smalltalk is OK for research/prototyping/toy systems, but no one does "real" applications in it. I know better than that. I'm trying to collect a list of "real" applications written in Smalltalk. For this purpose, a system gets more "real" as: 1) It gets larger. 2) It is in daily use for some purpose other than it's own development. 3) It is commerically marketed 4) It is supporting some "important" part of a business e.g.; running a factory, designing turbine blades, planning corporate strategy... If you know of such things (that you either developed or use), I'd like to hear about them. Don't worry, it won't show up in some TI advertisement, but don't tell me anything proprietary, either. But I'd appreciate it if you could send me a message telling: 1) What does it do? 2) Who did it? 3) How big is it? 4) How many users does it have? 5) Is it being actively supported or marketed? 6) Why did you choose Smalltalk and are you glad?
