Hi all,

I'm searching for inspiration about my Pharo project (I want to make something like Prezi[1]). So I was revisiting the Sophie project pages and an old question came back: Why Sophie was migrated from Squeak/Smalltalk to Java? Anyone could help me with the answers?

Short answer: because smalltalk is not mainstream language. (heh... i know the guy who can give you an extended answer, with a lots of explanations what he thinks gone wrong with Sophie and why management choosen to migrate to java). -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.
