Interesting tour back in time. I had a loaner Smalltalk license in the early 1980s for my Xerox Lisp Machine.

As one commenter in the article mentioned, there is Pharo. Pharo is open source and very good.

If you are really interested, have a look at Pharo. If not, yes, it is dead.

A warning though. Smalltalk is seriously mind-bending for those who come from more routine languages/environments.

You really should look at Squeak as well. http://squeak.org/

Pharo is a great implementation of Smalltalk, but Squeak has moved the Smalltalk ideas forward into new territory.
