What a nonsense - why should they shutdown their site if it is valuable to provide infos and new downloads to their customers? If you want to shut down any page that is not up-to date you may have to shut down a big part of the internet. > ps: Java is no Hype.

I think mainstream is the better word here. I like Java and use it a lot. Some days I dislike it when I see how complicated things can get although there are better easier alternatives. Others feel the same which is the reason for Groovy, Scala, ... And there is no doubt about Javas and especially the JVMs place in the IT universe. But Smalltalk is (at least to me) not interesting because it is a programming language - it is interesting because it is a dynamic object system that is easily changeable (including metamodel and language itself). And Pharo should not stop changing this object system until something new and better comes out of it... Bye T.
