Fellow Pharoers: What is the most exciting development in 2017 to look
forward to? I'm asking for things to put into the end-of-year post in my
"Make Smalltalk Great Again!" campaign. Thanks.

I would not call it "most exciting development" for anyone but is definitely for me��

Generally the plans for my project Ephestos for 2017 are

1) To create an Unreal API for Pharo

2) To create a Blender API for Pharo

3) To create a Supercollider API for Pharo

Unreal is the most powerful game/graphics engine.��

Blender is the most powerful 3d editor.��

Supercollider is the most powerful live coding music and audio synthesis platform. ��

I have developed the foundation for all three , the only thing remaining know is to wrap their APIs for Pharo.��

So by end of 2017 Pharo will have received a massive boost to its 2d and 3d graphics capabilities and

music and audio synthesis capabilities.��

Supercollider part is not a high priority goal as the other two, but I think I can squeeze it through.��

Low priority goals and less exciting for me are

1) improvements to Nireas expanding its customisability, recreating the GUI , improving the blue theme and offer multiple other themes too

2) a tool that unifies workspace, system browser and inspector under one roof. I have not tested yet grafoscopio in detail, so it may form the basis for this tool

3) ��further contributions to Pharo By Example and possibly other books
