Pharo is finally in a mature state. I would not recommend Pharo few years back because of severe lack of documentation and libraries and several other issues.I would definetly recommend it now to people who want to try something fresh and well designed. Documentation is in much better state, new libraries pop up like mushroom old ones have matured to very stable , reliable and flexible.��

I dont have hopes that Pharo will be in the top 10 of popular languages but entering the top 100 is definetly not far away if we are not already there. 99.9% of programming languages never ever come close to that.��

On the other hand I dont want Pharo to become too popular because popularity comes usually with the price of huge compromises.�� So we are definetly close to what I call "the sweet spot".��

Glad to be part of the family, keep the great work going and well done :)
