That is why we talk about Pharo as a cool, modern environment and language that is Smalltalk-inspired.

We went through this a few months ago. ��Pharo����isn't inspired by Smalltalk; it /is/ a Smalltalk. �� Trying to be mealy-mouthed about it and claiming inspiration, rather than proudly declaring its a Smalltalk is IMO as bad as apologizing for it being dead. ��


We do not need to apologize because Pharo was never dead :).

We don't need to avoid the S word either...

very cool presentation. Definitely you need to add this to the new website.��

Question : Why in every presentation we have to apologise why smalltalk is dead / extinct ? ����

As a newcomer to Smalltalk I find it quite annoying. Its not as if I came to Smalltalk without knowing that is not popular. The vast majority of languages out there are so more unpopular than Smalltalk, yet they don't have this "sorry that I am dead" mentality to them.��

Well said.

Noel Rappin: "But Really, You Should Learn Smalltalk���

Smalltalk has mystique. We talk about it more than we use it. It seems like it should be so similar to Ruby. It has similar Object-Oriented structures, it even has blocks. But everything is so slightly different, from the programming environment, to the 1-based arrays, to the simple syntax. Using Smalltalk will make you look at familiar constructs with new eyes. We���ll show you how to get started on Smalltalk, and walk through some sample code. Live coding may be involved. You���ll never look at objects the same way again.
