It is awesome to see that Smalltalk, after all this time, is being driven forward like that !

Just be careful: once you get deep enough into the beauty of Smalltalk, you will be changed forever and it will be hard to go back.

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

Great work!

Pharo 2.0 released: tons of new shiny things, an image that is moving the whole system forward.

Really, being involved in this is like being tied to a rocket surpassing escape velocity.

Is Seaside still being developed? Seems that it died out with DabbleDB being bought up and the take over of the client side js frameworks.

Double ended fun! Pharo at the backend, Amber smalltalk on the client.

Excellent news from the Pharo team! It's the most fun I've had playing with computers for almost a decade - Long may it continue!

Yes seaside is still in active development and there is progress on getting a nice configuration working on Pharo 2.0. Until then you can use our manual build from https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/Seaside-2.0/ to test it.

And we're eager to top this in the following years ;)

Great Milestone to all Smalltalk diehards. Kudos to the Pharo Team.

Serves up a bigger notice of stuff that will happen in the next two years... Smalltalk is definitely on upsurge, if Pharo beats up the drum and the momentum like this.

Will look forward to fervent Smalltalk with Pharo in the decade ahead.. through all enterprise works..

True! And releases so close in time: awesome.

Also, on iOS and OSX, one can use a WebView in the VM which is showing HTML/JS genereated amber served from the image.

That's close late binding.
