Hello,
Pharo is more than just a programming language and a development
environment—it is, above all, a community. As a community, we uphold
certain values that form the foundation of our interactions, both
technical and non-technical. We believe in human rights and the right of
all individuals to live and grow in an environment that respects them,
regardless of their choices.
With that in mind, we adhere to the principle of the paradox of
tolerance: while we welcome open discussions, we do not support
intolerance, hate speech, or any attempts to introduce such attitudes
into our community. We recognize that we are not just programmers but
multidimensional social individuals, and discussions may (and must)
sometimes extend beyond strictly technical topics. However, we expect
these conversations to remain within the respectful boundaries that
ensure a welcoming space for everyone.
In this sense, we want to apologize to anyone that may have feel
discomfort or concern by the previous discussion. Our goal is to foster
an inclusive and supportive environment where all members feel safe and
valued.
Thank you for your understanding and for being part of Pharo.
Esteban, on behalf of the Pharo Board
