A comment on The Smalltalk Revolution.

What killed Smalltalk was the $10,000/seat licenses. There was very limited scope for anyone to "kick the tyres". But it's OK, we have C++14 now.

Don't get me wrong I would love to use Smalltalk in anger. But that ship has sailed. Fight the battles you can win.
