Thanks Volkert and all community. I share your feeling of empowerment with Pharo, even when exploring other languages or themes, my ideas take form in a smoother way that with anything I have tried before. Thanks community for this. May all of you have an interesting 2017. Cheers, Offray PS: Alexandre, do not forget the traditional data visualization for this year... I'm waiting what surprise you will come with this time!

Dear Pharo Community,
i would like to thank you for all the work and effort to push Pharo forward. Pharo is getting better and nicer from day to day. It is hard work and the hard work will hopefully never end, because then Pharo is a success ...
I am using Pharo since 2012, mainly for prototyping my ideas with Roassal, NeoCSV, NeoJSON and Zn in the domain of knowledge management and enterprise architecture.
I am not a power or full-time user nor i am a Pharo expert (so i think, i represent some of the Pharo Users today). But for my ideas and projects Pharo is the right tool. It is a light-weight, easy to start, easy to learn language and a cool environment. The Pharo Books are really nice. The nicest thing is, that my ideas can easily grow into a simple & nice workbench for interactive data analytics ... but i have more plans with Pharo (Pharo on the server side).
My wishes for 2017 and above ... - A stable Pharo 6.0 on a 64bit VM on Linux - A better introduction of the Ecosystem and Core Project around Pharo - Some architecture blueprints of using Pharo in different domains - A growing and more powerfull community - A successfull killer application ... - A growing company backing ... - ...
Thank you and a Happy Pharo Year 2017 Volkert
