Stef,
You probably leave in a protected environment but I do not live in
the same.
Did you check numPy recently or R? momemtum?
Do you think that people do not know how to count?
In 1980 my students were not even born, so how can it be better than
python, java, c#, lua, ...
Do you think that it makes me happy to see my old friends leaving
our language and do node.js.
Seriously.
Why do you blame me? Frankly tell to leave Pharo and I will leave. I
can tell you.
I think that I need a break in my life in this moment so it would be
a good opportunity.
Because if each time I do something to improve the wealth and
visibility of our system
I get such kind of feedback then may be this is the time to do
something.
Afterall I may be wrong.
Seriously if you think that I'm not doing a good job and you want to
stay with old friends
just let me know. but if I stay then do not tell me that I'm an
asshole that does not want to
promote smalltalk.
I do not blame you. I am offended by Pharo disavowing the Smalltalk name. I am offended when people state Pharo is not Smalltalk. I want to refute false assumptions about the name Smalltalk, such as the equating it with cobol. Instead of taking it personally why don't you address my points about older programming languages whose names (AFAICT) are not perceived negatively?
I support this community and am excited to participate in it. I admire and respect your efforts, St��phane, in developing, organizing and supporting this community. But that does not mean I will keep quiet about something I profoundly disagree with and think is wrong. And that thing is to deny Pharo is Smalltalk.
And I do this not because I am a zealot, but because words meaning are important, because to understand each other we should call a spade a spade, and because I am grateful for and delighted by this thing called Smalltalk, and I will not support taking credit away from it. Ruby is inspired by Smalltalk. Pharo is the real thing.
