Re: [Pharo-users] Why are SmallTalk projects/source code hosted on SS3 Gemstone instead of Git?

by phil＠highoctane.be

I am curently working in a business where the whole day is spend with the tech you mention (that means with a team of devs). * jQuery * HTML5 * Symfony 1.x & 2.x PHP (including composer.phar, and a ton of Bundles e.g. REST etc) * Java (Maven2 included for builds, RabbitMQ for some stuff) for heavy lifting * Git/Bitbucket * Newrelic monitoring * PhpStorm & SpringIDE as IDEs * Jenkins building enging Still, Pharo feels better when I've to explore ideas and think straight. Especially when on e needs to prototype fast. Once I grokked Smalltalk, my thinking about code switched to something different. For the better. And not everyone is willing to invest the time it takes to grok Smalltalk, that may be the point. Syntax is easy, OO with messages is harder. As Sven has in his signature: Smalltalk is the red pill. True indeed.
