Thanks again for all the ideas regarding my project. So far I prepared the domain model and all the calculations. The model might be changed in the future, but that's basically it. Now I'm going to focus on the user's workflow and GUI. I have to say that I'm positively surprised by Pharo. Besides Pharo, I explored the feasibility of using other environments for the same project, namely VBA, .NET, Python. What took me in VBA and C#.NET roughly two weeks - and these are my 'native' programming environments - I finished in five days in Pharo. If GUI and finalization will go smoothly, this will be a success. I'm playing with Pharo for some time, but until now I haven't done any serious work with it. Nice!
