Smalltalk as an AI research tool?

[kru...@gitpyr.uucp]

I am currently working on an AI project where we are
using Smalltalk-80 as our implementation language. Are there
others who have used Smalltalk to do serious AI work? If so,
and you can talk about what you have done, please respond. I
would be interested in learning how well suited the language
is for serious AI work.
We have plans to implement an (Intelligent Operator
Assistant) using an IBM PC-AT running a version of Digitalk
Incorporated's Smalltalk/V. Any comments on this software
would also be helpful (especially speed information!).
