Smalltalk teaches no OOP that cannot be learned by more modern languages, starting with Ruby (which is already pretty old itself). And at least, these other languages don't impose on you broken IDE's that crash all the time and corrupt your work.
I find little point in learning Smalltalk today, except maybe read a ten minute article to check out its odd syntax.

Ruby the language still doesn't have the development experience of 90's Smalltalk environments, not even JIT compilers that work half as fast as Smalltalk ones.
