It depends on how one interprets the last paragraph. Yours is one interpretation, and one that never occurred to me. I didn't see it as "demoting" other languages. The paragraph in no way criticizes other languages. It simply suggests that Smalltalk offers many more resources for evangelism. It's all relative. I happen to like Dart, Elixir, Golang, Julia, and Rust. But be honest: do these languages provide nearly as many reasons to choose them? I'm not being deprecatory. Esteban A. Maringolo wrote
Hi Richard,
Regardless of the reasoning behind the title of the article, I don't like the tone of the last paragraph, it is not necessary, and probably not recommended either, to demote other languages in order to promote yours. In particular languages that have their own merits and capabilities to which Smalltalk/Pharo can't fulfill today, and by design won't neither.
Regards,
