I don't think so. According to my experience, the opposite is true. New talents
are rather fascinated and attracted by the religious attitudes of the Smalltalk
community. I still have no problems getting the full attention of any
non-Smalltalker within minutes.
Their major concern is they can't see how to accomplish with Smalltalk the
things they want to do today. Smalltalk has become a business, services and
datbase focussed platform with a legacy touch, that can not compete with
state-of-the-art desktop and mobile applications anymore. It still has its
place in the backend market, but that is a rather hidden place.
I have no doubt that, if Smalltalk was put side by side with Ruby and Java on
the XCode platform, it would succeed in the long term.
