If you don't think smalltalk is coming to home computers you are not
listening. There are at least 2 Japanese companies working on smalltalk
ports. If I remember right, it was a Fujitsu engineer who gave a talk about
their optimized smalltalk implementation at POPL in January. They are
building an iAPX-86 machine that can run smalltalk (plus IBMPC of course).
This is not a rumor, this is fact. I was at POPL. I heard the talk. The
man from Japan has a plan. He didn't announce availability though.
