1. Quick, expressive coding
2. Fast execution
3. Static and dynamic binding
4. Language level support for quality

Some of the points on why Smalltalk contracted in popularity:
1. It was too easy to make a mess.
---And the mess was found late in the project timeline, leading to failed projects.
2. Smalltakers didn't want to deal with the boring 'corporate' tasks.
---Leading to the rise of programmers using other languages to earn a corporate living.
3. When Smalltalk was 'riding high', a tendency to look down on other languages.
---This would alienate the general population of programmers.
