Hello,
As part of the defense of a budget and technology choices, what would you guys list as a key advantage of using Pharo for creating software solutions?
My current stack is:
Pharo 2.0 Seaside 3 (including Seaside-REST) Magritte 3 Twitter Bootstrap
+ a couple of data storage stuff (DBXTalk, Phriak, Voyage) + STOMP
+ Amber if needed
I've been test driving the whole stack for a while and even if there are some quirks, it looks like good enough for what I want to achieve.
Now, my question: what is the Pharo advantage you would put forward vs other choices (like LAMP, Java, Rails etc).
I am aware of what those could be but I am more looking for what makes you tick when using the technology (like: "it is fun to work with", "no more Java for me, due to ...", "speeds dev time by ...", "not NSA-backdoor-enabled")
This is the kind of thing we should have in stock for helping the Consortium members get buy in from people giving a yes on budgets.
Thanks in advance for your help! (BTW, I am going to use this on monday morning for defending our position on a significant project).
That's basically what I've been doing in the past 5-6 years ago: evaluating different platforms, technology combos, libraries, and many a times I do that for a living --so believe me, I'm good at it :-) I wrote something about Pharo a few months ago which might help you: http://www.bahmanm.com/blogs/a-new-platform-for-business-app-development
