Is the current system simple and minimal?
No, it is complex and it is getting bigger with every release.
Do you think the Pharo we have is good enough to have a future?
No, there is a lot to be improved. I think the future of Pharo is what can be built on top, not what can be integrated and forced upon everybody.
So? Maybe we should just stop and do something else.
No and yes.
No, don't stop: The cleanup process in Squeak 3.9, Pharo 1.0 and Pharo 1.1 was awesome. The system got smaller and more stable with every release.
What exactly did we add in 1.2 and 1.3 other than Zinc and Finder?
Yes, do something else. Be your own customer. Where is the next Reflectivity?
It will come. And it will require changes. Add some code, remove other code. Clients that require on deep system detail that changes will be impacted, too. I am sure you will not like it. I do not know how to move a system forward without changing it. Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de
