> pharo is not smalltalk I understand that Pharo wants to chart its own future, and that's great, but to deny its heritage only makes Pharo look haughty and foolish because...
Pharo *is* Smalltalk in the same way that VisualWorks is Smalltalk and VA Smalltalk is Smalltalk and GemStone/S is Smalltalk and Squeak is Smalltalk and Dolphin Smalltalk is Smalltalk and so on. At their core, they're all Smalltalk. Their individual enhancements don't change this. And from 10,000 feet up, even their IDEs look all the same. It would be like trying to deny that Clojure, Scheme, and Racket are not LISP. Only an imbecile would claim they're not. If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck... To be honest, I can't fathom the reason for denying that Pharo is Smalltalk. I don't see what it accomplishes. Smalltalk's heritage is not an albatross... it's a Russian rocket launcher <https://smalltalk.tech.blog/2020/01/19/why-smalltalk-is-so-easy-to-evangelize/> . > So in order to reach the people that are interested in smalltalk there are > plenty of better channels to put things there. Like what??? Name me one place that's well-populated and actively maintained for Smalltalk discussion. I scoured the web for such places and they were all ghost towns. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
