Hello Sean
I started using Squeak a few months ago, mostly in a time permitting fashion.. 2-3 weeks ago, I saw a Pharo related message come across that list and joined here to see what Pharo is. I'm still not entirely sure, so I'm asking...
Pharo is... ?
The little bit of marketing on the website makes it sound appealing and I'm sure if I had more experience with Squeak then downloading the one click and running it and poking around would have answered a ton of questions but, I don't have the Squeak background to have that be meaningful.
Pharo's goal is to be a clean free-open source Smalltalk.
Is the plan for it to end up as a fork of squeak that runs on the squeak vm? Is the underlying vm going to change?
