Re: [Pharo-project] Why Smalltalk ? Which Smalltalk ?

In fairness to the blogger, it is not a stretch to go from Alan Kay's 
involvement in Squeak's origins to it's having started for the educational 
benefit of children.  Early education has been a major focus of Alan's career.  
He probably WAS thinking "damn, this could be the dynabook that we would give 
to kids!"  OLPC anyone?  It was hardly a false statement; it's at best a 
difference of opinion.
