I tried that tack. I said Pharo is only 8 years old, but some people come back and tell me that Pharo is still essentially Smalltalk. It's hard for me to disagree.

Since people believe that new equals better, we market Pharo as new. And Pharo is new and it will continue to improve so this is not even a lie :) There is a reason why we decided to go that road and avoid to always say to people that we use a language designed nearly 40 years ago. But you can try :) Stef On Sun, 01 Jan 2017 14:05:12 +0100, horrido <horrido.hobbies(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Wow! *In just one day*, the Slashdot story added another thousand > pageviews > to my TechBeacon article! > > However, if you look at the comments, there's an awful lot of disdain for > Smalltalk.

If stupidity was a power the comment section went nuclear. I lasted a minute reading the comment section , no idea what kind of radio active protection suit you are wearing to allow you the time to reply. But I admire your patience.

Wow! *In just one day*, the Slashdot story added another thousand pageviews to my TechBeacon article! However, if you look at the comments, there's an awful lot of disdain for Smalltalk. It appears that Slashdot is inhabited by a lot of ignorant and opinionated programmers. I did not realize this. I'm trying to respond to the negative comments, but it's getting overwhelming... -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Slashdot-Submission-tp4928235p4928493.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

PharoJS: How to Talk to Server

by Sean P. DeNigris

I downloaded the preloaded Pharo 4.0 image and PhoneGap and got the tests passing. The first question that popped up was: once you haveyour super cool client side app working, how do you communicate back and forth to the server? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/PharoJS-How-to-Talk-to-Server-tp4928488.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
