Being that other languages are Turing-complete ... Which doesn't really mean much when it comes to the standard developer experience and how that differs between programming a live image and the tooling built around that versus manipulating text and the tooling built around that. One lives at the abstraction level of running code and the other at the level of syntax. |

In C/C++, I can do live debugging, reverse-time debugging, edit-and-continue debugging, multi-device debugging, multi-threading debugging... We also got language servers, on the fly retesting and recompiling, all kinds of profiling... All that with free or open tools readily available, not to mention paid, proprietary ones.
In higher-level languages, fancy features are even more prevalent.
So, what are we missing exactly from Smalltalk?
