My criticism is that "invented in 1969" implies it hasn't changed that much since then. It has, and one of the biggest changes was from Smalltalk-72 to Smalltalk-76. You might instead say something like "conceived in 1969, and stabilizing as Smalltalk-80 in the 1980's". One of the things I missed on first visit was the "fast moving forward" section. I suggest you eliminate it and put the information in the first section. But there are significant language developments since then: - traits - namespaces - closures - ByteArray literals - method pragmas/method tags and more to come: - slots I would replace the third section with something on the class library, that it is large (numbers, collections, graphics, multi-media, etc, the more the better) and mature. > > "The IDE" > > http://thekilon.wix.com/pharo-about#!ide/cfvg > You don't say anything about the debugger. The debugger is of course excellent and one of the few that allows programming in the debugger.
