I saw a quote in some vendor's PR that IDC measured 83% growth in the Smalltalk
market in 93.
But how big is it absolutely? License revenue/year is one typical measure.
Another interesting measure is the total installed base of licenses (not
counting runtimes).
For comparison, Visual Basic has an installed base of a million.
