So what Smalltalk has failed to achieve, Scratch is achieving it now even though it was made with Smalltalk. Makes sense though, many countries have been pushing coding into schools and Scratch was always a No1 choice, its just lately this push has been a lot more severe because of the severe lack of pro and amateur coders.

Now Pharo is aiming at a business market and maybe not kids,

but some of those kids have parents that in the tech industry,��

and of course they will want to help their kid's with their projects.

So now you have a few hours attention from a decision maker��

who otherwise wouldn't have time to poke something new with a barge pole.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing. There is any link to the HPE site on the news about investing 1.2 billion in the R & D Research Lab?
