… but .Net CLR supports Smalltalk. Do you think it doesn't support the 
whole Smalltalk features set ?
For Mono CLR, the things are a bit different, because it is still 
lacking support for dynamic languages like Python etc. (Smalltalk, 
Objective-C are dynamic languages too, then no luck currently).
