Well, if you just saw a slide rule, then it is OK, if you used one, then that is something else ;-) > It looks like you forgot to mention the S word. It first appears in the Appendix and then in a URL. Watch out for the flames and the debates. Well, that is on purpose: in the Pharo community there is a general consensus that talking about Smalltalk or Lisp scares away people. Another goal of the article is to attract new people, if such a thing is possible. Of course, Pharo is a Smalltalk, and is based on a long tradition/lineage that we are proud of. But going forward to the future, we want no restrictions. Anyway, a fun fact is that the HP-35 came out in 1972, which was pretty ground breaking in terms of new technology, but Smalltalk did already exist then in the form of Smalltalk-72 - something to think about. > On 25 June 2014 14:40, Sven Van Caekenberghe <sven(a)stfx.eu> wrote: > The code was ready for some time, but you pushed me to finally write the text, I was postponing that - so thanks for the push ! > > On 25 Jun 2014, at 15:35, Yuriy Tymchuk <yuriy.tymchuk(a)me.com> wrote: > > > Amazing, > > > > I have to read this ASAP.
