I'm working on a programing paradigm and IDE for the personal programmer
who wants to control his or her IoT. The size of the target audience I
have in mind is >100 million. I gave up Squeak long ago as a platform
because they obsolete my code faster than I can write it. I have now
frozen Squeak 3.10.2 and hope its runtime will survive until I find a
better foundation. My hope is that Pharo has a stable kernel that I can
build on. According to Stephan, this is not so. Is there any plan for
creating a stable Pharo kernel that people can use for building software
of lasting value for millions of non-expert users?

I’ve taken a look at what would be needed to
support magma on pharo a few years ago. Chris always told us he uses it
professionally on squeak and/*has not enough capacity to keep up with changes in pharo without
having a customer/maintainer for it.*/ Twice a year
or so someone asks about magma on pharo and takes a look. AFAIK there are
no real obstacles to a port, but magma uses a lot of deep implementation
specifics that will take an experienced smalltalker to deal with, and a lot
of mailing list archeology as pharo changed a lot since magma worked on
pharo last
