   Ok I downloaded Pharo and Smalltalk looks pretty cool. I wish there were a cool language that people actually used for things

      What I really need to do is settle with one of the statically typed functional languages like Haskell or Scala. Those seem to be more used.

      @taknamay In some areas (mostly large corporate customers), #Smalltalk still gets used. Consider it an alternative to #Java and #C-Sharp, in real-world use where Haskell & Scheme will never gain traction. (Scala & Groovy & Jython & JRuby, being JVM languages, seem to be used mostly in environments where Java is the standard.)
      
      Though I'm telling you this, I admit that $EMPLOYER is no longer a Java environment, so this could be out of date.
