These guys are clinging to a model of the past instead of making the necessary changes to deal with the modernity transition challenge. China transitioned, India transitioned, South Asia transitioned. They aren't. France has been directly involved in Lybia, Syria, and Mali to fight they archaic model. France is all they hate. And all we love. Freedom, fun, curiosity, questioning, science, progress. We should have crushed them in Syria already. Check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usJm4C_XZtA for an indepth geostrategic view (french). I am sad. But at the same time my resolve is stronger than ever. We need to stand for our values.

What a sad news from Paris. Lots of love and strength, and wisdom in finding the right course of action in reacting to these terrible actions. Stephan

My mind stopped for a while when I heard what happened. The way in which it happened made me inevitably wonder about the kindness of human kind. Itâs a sad feeling even from afar and I cannot imagine what people that are closer to the event might feel. I wish you all strength to go through this and wisdom to go beyond it.

"Democracy and our model are threatened and I hope our countries will realize that we have to react." Thats how the game of war works. We no longer live in an age of nationalism so the new rule of the game is terrorism. This way Europe will react fueling the engine of war with what it desperate craves , more money. Tons and tons of money, all in the name of justice and democracy and freedom. Thats how the game of war works.

This is very bad news. I hope your family and friends are in safe. In Russia it is happened every year (not this year I hope). And now this evil came to France. It's very sad Denis 14 Ð½Ð¾ÑÐ±. 2015 Ð³. 8:15 Ð¿Ð¾Ð»ÑÐ·Ð¾Ð²Ð°ÑÐµÐ»Ñ "stepharo" <stepharo(a)free.fr> Ð½Ð°Ð¿Ð¸ÑÐ°Ð»: > Hi guys > > I just want to let you that France got attacked by kamizazes probably from > these fanatics > ruining syria and we are touched. 120 people killed: they attacked a rock > concert and > restaurants in the street in Paris.

Re: [Pharo-users] New Introductory Tutorial

by stepharo

Thanks this is nice effort. Now some remarks: - Do you think that great speakers like doru would be invited to prime time conference to talk about a language that is from 1980? - You talk about momentum and shared space. Do you think that it is wise to talk about a Smalltalk whose forum has 5 posts in a year? - We have to create the momentum and we should not look back (it does not mean that we should not know our culture and history) and invent for real the future. Now do not get me wrong: I do pharo and the battle is not against squeak, cuis or... it is against Javascript, Ruby, Lua, Python. So decide were you put your energy. I chose for mine. This is my last post on this thread. People not happy with my points can be not happy but I'm right and I will not deviate one inch :).
