Thank you for Pharo �.

I am following the development of Pharo since its fork from Squeak, and i am really impressed what you crazy guys all have archived the last years. It all evolved to really nice language, �a fantastic nice looking live programming environment, cool packages and a growing ecosystems. �I have so much fun using Pharo. Thank you.

2011 i gave me a push to learn Pharo and last year i decided to do a small research prototype with it. The goal is a tool to analyze and visualize application landscapes. I have implemented a small repository model for the different architecture levels, some data analytic rules on top the model, and some model visualizations. �For visualization i use Roassal/Mondrian. For Data-In/-Export i use simply NeoCSV. Next year i plan to add more data analytic rules, to add model transformation operations to "simulate" landscape transformations (projects), and to use 3D visualizations with Roassal3D (City Metaphor). �If all works fine, we see what 2015 brings ...

Pharo is really a productivity boost for me. If you are able to play around with the objects in an interactive environment life is getting so much easier.

My wishes for Pharo:

- Some kind of "Pharo Capability Map". It is really hard to understand for a newbie what Pharo is all supporting, what is planed for the future, what the library names are, ....
- Stable Pharo 3.0
- Roassal3D (Roassal is so coooool, one of the killer frameworks for Pharo).
- More User Interface programming examples
- 64 Bit VM and MultiCore Support

Thank you guys, and best wishes for 2014
