Sorry Stef it will never happen. The issue here is not that Pharo is Smalltalk , the problem here is that you promote something that is too good to be true. Coders live in a denial state for decades now . The denial is about not wanting to recognize that even my hardware is 1 times better in

Re: [Pharo-users] Slashdot Submission

Since people believe that new equals better, we market Pharo as new. And Pharo is new and it will continue to improve so this is not even a lie :) There is a reason why we decided to go that road and avoid to always say to people that we use a language designed nearly 40 years ago. But you

Re: [Pharo-users] Slashdot Submission

Wow! *In just one day*, the Slashdot story added another thousand pageviews to my TechBeacon article! However, if you look at the comments, there's an awful lot of disdain for Smalltalk. It appears that Slashdot is inhabited by a lot of ignorant and opinionated programmers. I did not realize this.

I would guess the conversion rate for trying out a language from a Slashdot article (or anywhere, really) would be in the 1% range - I've noticed that HN articles only occasionally get a comment from someone trying out the mentioned article. On Dec 30, 2016 12:22 PM, "horrido" wrote: > It would

It would appear that my submission to Slashdot has been passed over. To my knowledge, it hasn't been posted. It was out of date anyway. Today, my TechBeacon article surpassed 20,000 views...weeks ahead of schedule! That's a lot of readers. I have no idea how many of them were convinced to give Sm
