It is always tempting to go where others are. Yet, once we get there you
might notice that many other people are there as well, and all of a
sudden we are less remarkable and we get less attention than we hoped for.
In the meantime, I will continue working with people to make Pharo the
thing that others will envy. I do want Pharo to be the odd one out, the
Purple Cow. It is exactly by doing something radically different that we
have a chance of reinventing software engineering.
Some might think that it is not possible. That we are too small. That we
have no funding. That ... there are many reasons to be found for giving
up and doing what others are doing. But, I think we are closer to
reaching the Purple Cow than we think. We are on an ascending trend and
the most important features are not yet out. We still have a hard road
ahead of us, but I believe we are approaching a very interesting period
in the Pharo history.
I would like to remind people that the aim of the Pharo project is more
ambitious than the Smalltalk one. Please rally and focus on the larger
goal. Together, we will get there.

Nice thought
I like Purple Cows me too, green and yellow ones with squared wheel are
nice too. squared wheels give good vibrations :)
Redline smalltalk is more about marketing and surfing on the java/jvm
hype than innovation

I believe in Redline. I think it's a very important project,
strategically.
On Twitter and elsewhere, I am urging contributors to join Redline.
It would
be something of a tragedy if Redline failed to reach version 1.0.
