Thomas was on the last Pharo sprint in Brussels and I had a nice talk with him. I think most people don't realize how big a Smalltalk success story HR Works actually is. They have hundreds of (often big name) companies as customers, and many tens of thousands of users on a SaaS pay as you go model. Do the math ;-) And all this based on a Smalltalk software product (using a OODB as well). This is really very cool ! We just have to convince him to switch to Pharo, at least for some of their stuff... Sven

we did the math. In fact this is great because I follow the success of HRWorks since 1998 or 2000. And I was really proud/touched that they were impressed by our work too.

:) First I would like to make sure that what he will present at ESUG will get open-sourced and benefit to the community.
