On Pharo being a "new language"...
I presume you mean that Pharo will have additional new features and syntax that extend Smalltalk, making it a /superset/ of Smalltalk rather than just another /dialect/. I would be very cautious about doing this.
One of the most desirable qualities of the Smalltalk /language/ is its pure simplicity. This is one of the things that the Xerox PARC team got absolutely correct. *You change this at your own peril.*
If, on the other hand, you mean that the Pharo /environment/ (including the tooling and class libraries) will evolve and grow and improve, then you can't really call Pharo a "new language." Do not conflate the two things.
You have no idea what you are talking about.

I would advise you to not waste everyones time. Please start DOING, stop TALKING. Keep in mind that you have until now not done *anything at all*, yet you know exactly what everyone else is supposed to be doing. Marcus
