Ahh, I am so upset with this thread.
It's not the content that upsets me, but the fact that my pointing out that Pharo has a super-linear evolution went unnoticed due to all the trolling activity.
So, let me mention it again "One should not presume much about Pharo because its evolution super-linear, and we all know how poor we are at estimating such super-linear models."

Why you think it didn't noticed? I even spent time learning what is 'super-linear' means. :) You're right that if taking a single individual, and his contribution to Pharo , it is of course always linear. But if you take a sum of those contributions by whole community, then you can easily see that the rate of improvement in different (or same) area can easily surpass the linear speed. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
