Squeak != Pharo. We're happy to interact, but the mission statement is more than just words.
With respect to marginalization, I'm not writing portable web apps, which is exactly my point: web technologies have their purposes and limitations, and attempts to use them as some type of intergalactic-fix-all is probably going to work out poorly.

I didn't say it would wipe out Smalltalk's place in the world - I said it will fulfill its mission - which is one more level of marginalization. At this point, it is easier to write a portable desktop app in a webkit based browser than it is to write one in Pharo.
