Who's "we"?
Last time I checked, nobody owns Pharo. Pharo is not a bunch of core
developers; it's a community. And I believe there are many Pharoers who
share my view.
Since I'm a Smalltalk evangelist and not a Pharo evangelist, I guess I
shouldn't ever mention Pharo in my blog. After all, if it's not Smalltalk,
why should I promote it???
Pharo 8.0 release Reddit discussion included some feedback you may��appreciate:��
"Thanks. Does this Pharo release removes feature "Richard Kenneth Eng"? That was the only feature in detriment to such an excellent environment as Pharo."
"I really like the idea of pharo's features and smalltalk is quite interesting, but I can't help but be put off by the insanely stupid marketing culture around it. Most articles about it exaggerate way too much and seem like they're written by people who were paid to write about it. Or maybe I'm reading Medium-cancer too much."
��
In fact, this is disastrous for my JRMPC competition since it's based
entirely on Pharo. I'm promoting Smalltalk but pushing Pharo on all the
participating teams??? What the f*ck am I doing?!!
