Smalltalk reborn is the kind of bold statement that we should aim to say but I
don’t feel we are quite ready to tell that just yet. If we force things and we
do we’ll devaluate our speech because the expectations are very high out there.
But.. if we raise the bar on innovation and become able to do things like
Meteor, that’s a whole different story.
If something of that caliber happens and we have things to battle test them and
we do good, then things would get really exciting… super heroic kind of
exciting… continuation of the legend kind of exiting...
tl;dr: Many prolific and prosperous things could come from a Pharo Amber
relationship
In fact, hush hush, but at flowing we just approved doing a feature in
airflowing that is not doable without Amber and Pharo.
Wonder how our audience will respond to that...
