Many languages need constructors (and static methods) because the class is not an object. In Smalltalk the class is the sole instance of another class (MetaClass), so a "static met…

These are commercial vendors, but there are industrial uses of Pharo itself, and as Pharo gets better a lot of companies are moving from their commercial dialects to Pharo. In part…

The syntax is similar, and for the most part, compatible. Pharo's syntax has a few extra extensions, but nothing incompatible. But Pharo's is inspired by Smalltalk, and I myself co…

I think it is the only language that enables a single individual to understand a big and complex system like the development environment itself.

Do you still see an advantage of using Smalltalk (like Squeak/Pharo) as a general purpose language/tool to build software or do you think that most of its original ideas were someh…

It is the most recent release of a the Smalltalk based programming environment, Pharo. If you never heard of Smalltalk, you can google it. But as a summary I can tell you it is the…

I haven't seen a bigger release for a Smalltalk dialect in the last several years. Great work!
