I have to confess I did not understand this obsession of implementing everything in Pharo when I joined coming from python. But now I find this obsession too infectious to resist :) That's why its impossible to convert people via HN and Reddit. Like skydiving (I imagine), it seems like a really bad idea to leave the safety of ill-conceived vendor-supplied tools until you jump and actually live it for yourself for long enough to realize what freedom feels like!
One of the things that drew me to do the Delay refactoring, is simply that I could. That is, I was amazed that I could dig so deep so easily, see a path to improvement and effect change at a fundamental level. Excepting complexities with the CI due to "changing the wheels on the car at 100km/h" (and one slip), it seems to have gone reasonably smoothly. That sense of mastery is seductive. cheers -ben
