IMHO, all Pharo beginner tutorials should start by showing off Cmd
- dot (or Alt - dot, on Win / Linux).
Not just because it's cool, but because it's necessary :)

Very true.
Yet, and I have already mentioned this years ago, it is technically
totally possible to properly detect massive stack growth, before
things get out of control. Sadly, VM people think this is not needed
(or too costly).
Not entirely true :-) There are smalltalks out there that detect such
stack growth and do the same as CL,
throw a (resumable) exception. Super-handy. Some of them have this for
at least 10 years now :-)
And, it could be done with virtually no costs at all - hardware check
for this anyway.
