Congratulations! That must have been a significant effort. > I'm also the major champion of Pharo at JPL, and am leading an effort to get > Pharo introduced & infused at JPL. That's what I am most interested in. I am in biophysics research myself, where Pharo is best described as invisible and unheard of. So I wonder which techniques could work for introducing and infusing. > I see the initial "market" for Pharo here to be: > > * Scientific & engineering data analysis & visualization, > * Modeling and simulation, > * Internal web servers, > * Custom ground support & test systems, > * Small-to-medium sized scripting to "support applications". That looks like a lot of people to convince! > I'm sure more application areas will open up as I get people to start using > Pharo in their particular areas of expertise. Indeed, the hard part is getting started. > Wish me luck! All you need! Konrad.
