I fail to see how Windows prohibited iPhone from appearing or anything in my quote saying that. They are not even in the same market.
Yet, that old market is now in a very bad shape and people talk about the âdeath of the desktopâ. You do not need to be in the same market if you can make the old one obsolete.

I think that we should be passionate about what we are doing. Look at Scala for example. Itâs becoming quite popular, and it was developed for 10 years. Pharo still has a lot of time to attract people, but we need to push something new. Itâs not java like smalltalk, or something smalltalk-inspired that looks like C. For me Pharo is what had to happen to Smalltalk: evolution. Usually Smalltalk is mentioned with â80â suffix. Pharo is Smalltalk2013. And we can make it really cool, but we should stick to smalltalk philosophy. Having tools, working with objects, etc...
