And i ask, because the first line on the Pharo homepage says itâs: "Smalltalk-inspiredâ.
The idea is that if Pharo is Smalltak, it will always be Smalltalk. We can not move on. If it is Smalltalk Inspired, we can take the *ideas* behind Smalltalk and seriously move forward.
E.g. take the Slots. Smalltalk has no first class Slots, Pharo will. If Pharo would *be* Smalltalk it could not.
Pharo IS smalltalk. Smalltalk by its nature are made to be easily changed. I don't remember the precise quote from Alan Kay, where he said that he feels a bit disappointed about the fact that people never thought about having more subclasses of Behavior than just Class and Metaclass. Please don't turn the idea into dogma. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
