I think Phil was referring to the technological/frameworks stack. Sadly, IMHO, almost every item you mention is surpassed by other non-mainstream or "trendy" technologies/stacks (JS, Erlang, Scala and others). One thing that, for me is a key differentiator is: - how easy is to change code on the fly - really complete debugging environment - objects all the way down - Easiness of the syntax (small, compact and homogeneous) Frameworks come and go, but I really like and feel like an advantage (even though the first two are not "Pharo exclusive"): - Seaside REST (pragmas are really convenient way to define it) - Magritte 3 - Zinc I want to take a look into STOMP, but didin't have time yet. I also like Voyage. Regards, Esteban A. Maringolo
