Nice article. I like the way you've structured it and pushed the "updated" angle.
I feel a bit too strong a claim is laid on Pharo producing the CogVM.�� Much of the Cog + Spur + 64bit VM work was originally done for Squeak with Pharo riding the coat-tails of that work.�� Lately Pharo community has been involved in improving VM with hotspot optimisation with Sista and moving towards making Pharo embeddable.. (@Clement, is "hotspot optimsation" fair as a short tagline for inter-language comparison?)
So maybe say "the��Pharo project has been involved in producing: ...
�� �� * the 64-bit Spur/Cog VM (used also by Squeak, Cuis and Newspeak)��
�� �� * hotspot optimisation with Sista
�� �� * working towards embedding Pharo as a game scripting language" ��(not sure on that last one)
