Hi Jimmie, I really like the impulse you bring and the recent discussion about Beyond Live Coding... it is pretty timely precisely about a discussion we were having with one friend about Python vs Pharo.
On the documentation front, I have created a interactive documentation called Grafoscopio [1]. It follows a different path that Pillar and leverage on existing solutions like Pandoc to convert to several format. Also it tries to bring ideas from the interactive notebooks from (Jupyter, Beaker, Zeppeling) and outlining worlds (Leo Editor, Org Mode) to the Pharo world and, hopefully, new bring ideas also. I'm preparing a new edition of Grafoscopio with suggestions for a paper send to the Journal of Open Source Software [2], by our own Serge Stinckwich, on first week of August, and also we will have a re-release of the Data Driven Journalist Handbook this weekend as a Grafoscopio document. So stay tuned.
