Re: [Pharo-project] Why Smalltalk ? Which Smalltalk ?

In fairness to the blogger, it is not a stretch to go from Alan Kay's involvement in Squeak's origins to it's having started for the educational benefit of children. Early education has been a major focus of Alan's career. He probably WAS thinking "damn, this could be the dynabook that we would give to kids!" OLPC anyone? It was hardly a false statement; it's at best a difference of opinion.
