[Pharo-users] The results of the Pharo Browser usage survey are available

2023-09-05 Thread Koen De Hondt
Dear Pharo users and developers, Last week at ESUG’23 I presented the results of the survey on the usage of the Pharo Browser. Half an hour was not enough to show and discuss all questions and answers. You find all results on my blog: https://all-objects-all-the-time.st/#/blog/posts/3. If you

Hi Guille, Full disclosure, I've spent the past 6 months using my discretionary hobby time programming the infrastructure for this competition using Pharo, so my viewpoint may be biased. On Sun, 9 Feb 2020 at 03:25, Guillermo Polito wrote: > > Hi Richard, > > I’d like to invite you to refrain

Now, who's telling lies? I have never "demanded" money for the competition. I've asked for donations through Kickstarter and GoFundMe. I didn't demand anything from LabWare; they were so impressed with my campaign, they offered to support it. Your characterization of me is inaccurate and unfair

Exaggeration is not a lie, especially in the context of /marketing/. We've all seen marketing campaigns on television, in social media and magazines. They all contain exaggerations and half-truths. You don't seem to understand what marketing is all about. Pavel Krivanek-3 wrote > so 8. 2. 2020

Self-promotion??? I generally dislike inserting myself personally into Smalltalk advocacy. My campaign is all about Smalltalk; I'm just the vehicle. If you're referring to my comment "at the risk of sounding immodest," I am rightfully proud of my video. It does a damn good job of promoting Pharo.

Hi Richard, I’d like to invite you to refrain yourself from posting such off-topic messages in the future. This list is for people to *ask* questions about Pharo. Not to diffuse any kind of propaganda (pharo related or not). You’re not asking a question about Pharo, nor answering a question

So this forum is only for Pharo newcomers who have questions? Seems rather limiting. When I join other language forums, I look for information about the language I'm investigating as a newcomer. This can include the language's capabilities, limitations, real-world usage, new tools, philosophical

I've found this topic both interesting and upsetting at times. I do understand the desire to address Pharo issues without getting sidetracked by other topics. However, this particular thread started as a Pharo user's success story. Didn't it? Isn't Pharo the implementation used for the contest?

Round 1 — #1 Leading Team: https://youtu.be/QWHeN5WXfBQ I'm actually quite amazed by their effort. They surpassed my expectations. At the risk of sounding immodest, I think this is a terrific way to promote Smalltalk (Pharo). I think the video is an absolute blast. Richard
