Yes please don't add that. It is alreday pain enough to get complicated objects setup in the right oder with the #initialize always being called (ok it is easy to work around and in many cases it is just fine, but you need to be aware of it).

And it will also require modifying the Pharo by Example book that says that there's nothing wrong with instantiating abstract classes and that there is no *abstract* class marker in this sense, only abstract methods.
So, why would try to convert Pharo to another language ?

Hi!
Just wondering. What about redefining new into: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Behavior>>new     "Answer a new initialized instance of the receiver (which is a class) with no indexable variables. Fail if the class is indexable."     self isAbstractClass ifTrue: [ self error: 'An abstract class cannot be instantiated' ].     ^ self basicNew initialize -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This may break a lot of code however.
