Smalltalk is incredibly good to manage a complex model. If you pay 
attention to write tests for the critical part of your model it will 
both help to ensure its consistency over time and code evolution, and 
serve as well as documenting your model.

I once wrote a server side financial application for loans restructuring 
(never made public and not completely finished because of disagreement). 
It was astonishing how Smalltalk helped to manage the complexity.
