Could not agree more with entirety of your post. Especially the part of the massive improvement of Pharo version 1 vs 6 are like and day.
Documentation wise even Unreal with its massive community and one of the most profitable game companies pouring massive resources has many doc problems. In perspective and taking the size of the community into account we do great there too. Personally I am running out of complains , my last ones is code completion and bootstrapping. I would like to thank all contributors for the amazing work. Pharo is not perfect but it is improving blazing fast again taking into account the size of the community. So excited for the future :) On Wed, 16 Aug 2017 at 17:27, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't know why you think that anybody would silence you. > > Just the fact that you bother mentioning that is just a huge internal > insecurity showcase to me. > > Come on, if we cared about popular opinions, this would be a javascript or > nodejs list, not a Pharo list. > I do not care a bit about popularity. > I care about my customers being happy and accounts receivable clearing up > on time so that I can provide for people who depend on me. > > As far as I am concerned, you actively contributed to your channel volume > being set to mute on my side. > That's how you come across and get on my nerves.
