It is a matter of tolerance and patience. You keep doing your great job, but accept that we, outside of the internal, core, revolutionary research being made, might have mundane necessities. That on the daily basis have more importance than a futuristic 128bit manycore vm that kicks JVM's ass :D > So, I refuse to believe that we cannot be a cool and helpful community. We are. Email sometimes is counterproductive to the health of the communication. It's like a fence between us. And as the saying, transliterated, goes: "We're like dogs barking at both sides of the fence that when together they smell at each other and waggle their tails." :) > In conclusion: not helping does not help :) Please consider than USING Pharo is a way to contribute to it. Even if you had infinite manpower but no one uses it, it would be worthless. > Esteban, still grateful of belonging to this community ditto :) Regards!
