Yes. I think that DVCS wise, developers imagination has been monopolized
by Git/GitHub. There are powerful simple little tools out there that are
practically outside of the developers' radar. Let's see what happens in
the Fossil + Pharo integration front.

I looked also at Skribilo in my search for more powerful tools for
interactive writing and documentation, and Emacs/OrgMode (see [1]). I
really liked the Racket approach of a meta programming tool for making
Domain Specific Languages (like the ones used for documentation). But in
the development front I think that Pharo/Smalltalk is hardly beaten by
anything, more if you're thinking not only in publishing (web, mobile or
print) but also in agile data visualization (see [2]). In that regard
becoming a coder was a valuable deviation from my research and study
that paid huge reward later in those fronts also.

Is good to see more interest in interactive documentation in this
community. It seems that good times are coming.

Cheers,
