Stuckle is partially correct--nothing indicates that Smalltalk for
growing as a web language as fast as other languages are, but I did hear
at conference two weeks ago the Ruby on Rails presenter (a big Ruby fan)
suggesting anyone using Seaside would be moving backwards to Rails.
Indicating that if you think Rails is cool (and it is) you should see
what Seaside can do.
