Stef,
Why be sorry? It's great that you have a stable kernel in Pharo. Where
do I find the definition of the Pharo public API?
In which way is the Pharo technology that underlies Moose more complex
than BabyIDE? Porting BabyIDE from Squeak 3.10 to 4.5 was hard because
it extends the Squeak Parser and debugger and that this is unknown
territory to me. There remains, of course, minorproblems and bugs caused
by changes in the various services offered by the Squeak kernel.
It's clear that one port went without a hitch for you. That does not
mean that porting BabyIDE to Pharo will be equally simple. And may be
the people who did your port do not share my extensive ignorance of the
Pharo innards and the nature of the changes in the release? I am not a
Pharo creator. I was considering to become a Pharo user but reconsidered
when I read what you say below. This was partly because I believe you
underestimate the work needed to port BabyIDE to Pharo and partly
because you do not appear to appreciate the need that programmers (your
customers) have for a stable programming language.

We could port all Moose in one afternoon and Moose is certainly more
complex :).
