Many things seem to be possible in times where talks like "How to get rid of Smalltalk" [1] will be presented on a Smalltalk conference (here ESUG 2019). Did commercial / traditional Smalltalk world really change over the years? I'm not following them too closely in recent months but I see some commercial vendors still try to attract people with old success stories and videos from ancient times. Where is the "coolness factor" combined with fancy marketing to attract new generations and audience... And this although Smalltalk seems to be often mentioned as favourite language like in [2] Pharo is in fact the main innovation driver these days. Another reason to move on, to improve it or even change Pharo more radical into a world beyond traditional Smalltalk. We all know that many new cool and interesting things could be done on top of the powerful base of a lively and dynamic object oriented system which we still share with the historic roots.... Bye T.
