I saw it.  I learned a lot about some things I didn't know about in Pharo.  I 
had no idea how PetitParser worked.  Now I'm intrigued.

It was an interesting perspective because, while he wasn't pushing Smalltalk, 
he was pushing for other languages to pursue better environments and tools 
built in their own languages.  Basically using Pharo as an inspirational "bar 
raiser" by saying "they did this - we should be able to do it too".

Although I think a lot of why Smalltalk makes that stuff doable is the 
integrated graphical environment - something most other languages simply don't 
have.  

Not sure what to make of the knocks on Pharo's GC. I had thought the goal was a 
very aggressive collector to support multimedia
