I'm looking for a powerful but fast object-oriented programming
language/environment for PCs. This system needs to have very
complete graphics extensions and be able to run on one of two
machines. The IBM PC/AT or the Atari 1040 ST. Since, it is going
to be used for real-time processing/display over a high-speed
network, one of the over-riding consideration is speed. The only
Smalltalk implementation on the PC that I have had a chance to use was
extremely slow because of the swapping of objects off of the hard-disk.
Given the presumption of many megabytes of real memory on the PC
which will run the o-o environment, what language would you people
choose to use? Does anyone have any experience with Digitalk's
Smalltalk/V for the IBM PC?
