Hi Reinout, Just to say - I'm in pretty similar position as you, trying to use Squeak and friends for my commercial work (which is still on VisualWorks for now), that's why I really like the progress Pharoers did so far and I'm supporting them as much as I can.
Which does not mean I stopped supporting Squeak, as I like any good progress in any Smalltalk. We need to stand by the guys doing great work on a tools which we "commercial" guys then use for a living :) Best regards Janko Reinout Heeck pravi: >> Please note that Pharo is not even yet in beta, so some of the snags >> you mention will no doubt get fixed as the feature list finalizes. >> As an open source project, there will be a certain amount of bias >> toward what is important to the heavy contributors.
