Well... this is an example of what the "thread" was about at the beginning... that is, the lack of knowledge on software development... I you have known a little bit about architecture, multi-threading and vm implementation, you would quickly realize that pharo will not scale as a server. Squeak (where pharo comes from) was not design/implemented to be used as a server (and please, don not take this bad, I don't want to be�unworthy�with Pharo because it is changing and getting better with every realease)

So, if you want to do a "serious enterprise" application, you should have used and architecture prepare for that such as GemStone (GLASS in this case)... it is a�pity�you lost so much money due to you "lack" of knowledge.

Bye,

Wie started off a project, a shop like this, with Seaside on Pharo, and we had to give up, when benchmarks came into consideration.

You remember, some time ago, you and Marcus denied all my complaints:

http://forum.world.st/Hanging-connects-exhausted-resources-memory-leaks-bocked-everything-Unusable-td3669616.html

What has happened? I went on with pushing development of a similar shop (see cyberport.de) and�finally lost several 10.000nds of �, because Pharo/Seaside *is* much too slow for any serious enterprise.

My former complaints (see link above) have been ignored, calling me a Troll, and in the meantime this list *is full* of reports Pharo being unstable.

You as being the *always optimistic* chief develloper and project manager your lazy attitude already has cost me a lot of �!!! More than your annual income!

But ok, my personal risk!

I follow all changes, i know, hat you are aiming at! But - you've got the wrong priorities!

Stability *always* comes first!!!

I've got best connections to top 500 enterprise and deciders in germany. I would be pleased to present them a Seaside Shop, running on Pharo, PostgreSql or Magma behind, ready to run from within one image.

Ok. If you are not able to get Pharo development managed under consideration of business needs, means: benchmarks and stress tests equiv to sunit tests, please step back as project leader!

I am positive, still, although you cost me much money.

Happy hacking!
