We will see but our goal is not to captures people :)
Our goal is to open a free space for good, clean and robust software.
I would love to see all kind of software running on top of pharo
- education
- web
- new languages
the real problem with squeak was that we got stuck in death kiss with
the past.
I like experiment made by people but experiment should be either
cleaned, used,
maintained... or belong to the past.

Yes the look, the look and the look. :)
Money is not evil and I have been thinking that it would be great if
we could build a community
of companies that could offer Pharo enhancements (kind of support but
in a bounty way).
For now we should get 1.0 out of the door but after that this would be
the time to think about
that.
