Dear Pharoers,

I stumbled upon Doru���s (BTW excellent, as usual) presentation on Live Objects at NDC 2014. In there he states ���Pharo is Smalltalk inspired. ��� we want to point ourselves that we are Smalltalk inspired because we want to move towards the future���. This implies three things:
  1. Pharo is NOT Smalltalk
  2. All Smalltalks are not moving towards the future
  3. The Pharo community wants to get divorced from the community that gave them birth

I am wondering whether this is indeed the official position of the Pharo community? And how the Smalltalkers think about it.

For me, Pharo is very nice Smalltalk dialect, ��and "Pharo is not Smalltalk", is just marketing speak for me. As I try to valuate things accordingly to what they are and not marketing, I can live quite nice with "Pharo is not Smalltalk", since, ��as I said I like Pharo Smalltalk pretty much.

Thanks guys for hard work!
