We are on the same boat Hernan :-) I heard the same crap. This is why this is important to play cooperatively between us and report bugs upstream if possible. Thank you for your effort for pushing the use of Pharo in such directions ! I will have a look to your work about phylogenetics. With BioSmalltalk, SciSmalltalk and Kendrick, I think that we are pushing hard Pharo in the domain of biology/epidemiology modeling. We should try to share as much as possible what we are doing.
