"JPMorgan Derives Clear Benefits From Cincom Smalltalk" - there is
GemStone there too.
Regards, Jaroslaw.
As a practicing engineer who enjoys seeing niche programming languages
used successfully, I say bully for JP Morgan.
As a JP Mogan shareholder who has watched the share price drop 15-30%
over the last 5 years, I say there's obviously a difference between
deriving "clear benefits" and deriving "significantly profitable benefits".

In this case the value is from VisualWorks. I'm reliably informed by
people at JPMC that GemstoneS is simply used to persist data and that
all of the "analytics" that constitute the application are implemented
on VisualWorks (apart from some matrix floating-point primitives coded
in C).

Eliot Miranda Smalltalk - Scene not herd

In my talk at ESUG last month, I described how it was an early design
decision to keep all the financial domain model code in VisualWorks,
GemStone acting as a virtual memory extension at this level, whereas the
infrastructure model that underlies the financial one has code in both
VisualWorks and GemStone. I mentioned some corollaries of this decision.
Then Adriaan van Os (of SOOPS) gave a talk in which he mentioned that, in
their system, they write all the domain code in a common base smalltalk that
runs in either dialect, so can be moved between VisualWorks and GemStone at
will.
These alternative design decisions seemed to me to represent the two
extremes between the various patterns people can use for domain behaviour.
It's great to have this choice.
Yours faithfully
