Perhaps because it's difficult to determine whether a language is on a
higher tier without first spending a great deal of time mastering it.

I would love to see a Gatorlug presentation about the advantages of
Smalltalk, or perhaps a short tutorial introduction to creating
programs with Squeak. I found the Squeak environment a bit
overwhelming, perhaps because I'm accustomed to working with textual
descriptions of programs rather than interacting with the objects
directly.
