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:

Pharo is NOT Smalltalk
All Smalltalks are not moving towards the future
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.

Well, I tried to open a smalltalk-80 image recently and it didn't work on the Pharo VM.��

In addition, it seems that recent Pharo images cannot run on the Xerox-D microcoded machines.

So I think clearly Pharo is not Smalltalk for obvious backward compatibility issues.

I love mails about this topic it really makes my day each time :-).

Clement

Cheers

Helge
