Digitalk

Digitalk, Inc. was an American object-oriented software tools vendor and a Trinity Ventures portfolio company, best known for Smalltalk/V — a commercial Smalltalk development environment first released in 1986 for MS-DOS, preceded by "Digitalk Methods" in 1983. It was founded by George Bosworth, Jim Anderson, Mike Teng and Barbara Noparstak, and its product line grew into Visual Smalltalk Enterprise. In July 1995 Digitalk merged with its principal competitor ParcPlace Systems; the combined company was later renamed ObjectShare, announced a shift away from Smalltalk toward Java in 1997, and active development of the Digitalk line ended shortly after. The final release, Visual Smalltalk Enterprise 2000, shipped in September 2000. Cincom retains the right to sell and support VSE 2000 for existing licensees and Seagull Software owns the virtual machine. Digitalk predates the public web API era and operates no developer platform, public API, or live web presence today; this profile is retained as a historical company record in the API Evangelist network.

Digitalk is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Enterprise Software, Developer Tools, Programming Language, and Smalltalk.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/digitalk: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
