Re: [Pharo-users] Breaking News

Re: [Pharo-users] Breaking News

Scratch may be a good way to introduce basic programming concepts to total beginners, but it's hardly a substitute for a proper programming language like Smalltalk. How would you even begin to write a machine learning application or an ERP application using Scratch? I write about this in my articl
