I hope you don't find Smalltalk esoteric nor obsolete.

Hmm. Although Smalltalk was quite an original language in its time, it doesn't seem to be very alive right now:

Correspondingly, it might not be a very useful language for CodeCombat to offer. But it would be kinda fun. A Smalltalk parser would have to be pretty awesome (complete, well-organized, and handling incomplete code) to win this challenge over a hotter language, but as long as it works, it could be eligible for one of the iPads.
I hope this makes sense?
