Thanks Marcel. Nice work with Objective Smalltalk too.

Irony is that at that time the Smalltalk people didn't see the advantages of frameworks like StepTalk. I got a few "Why don't you just use Smalltalk?" questions on ESUG conference in 2003 – on one hand they were not happy that Smalltalk use was a bit declining (or at least not thriving, compared to other languages/environments), but didn't wanted to see a compromise solution. Only the pure Smalltalk way was the proper way.

... where web == one large distributed Smalltalk image? I'm all for that! ;-)
