Happy to see something related to ESUG so up in HN.

Smalltalk still has a small group of passionate people who love the language, the environment, and its concepts.

For some reason, Buenos Aires has a “large” group of Smalltalkers (large relative to the total, which is small in absolute terms). This group usually organizes the ESUG event in Argentina with very few sponsors.

It's taught in at least one of the universities there.

I attend the National University of Quilmes in Buenos Aires, where my first OOP course was taught in Smalltalk, specifically CUIS [1]. It was a lot of fun and a very nice introduction to object-oriented thinking.

As a curiosity, there are two "competing" sections for this subject: one that uses CUIS and the other one uses Wollok[2] (an in-house language). It's funny to discuss which one is better with classmates.
