Everyone, Thank you for an great discussion! I'm the author of the post in question, and I appreciate you clearing up my misconceptions. At the time that I found out about the Pharo project, those were the differences that I could find, from Wikipedia (and i suspect i also misunderstood what it was saying). I've edited the post in light of this discussion.
I do want to fully understand though. What are the technical differences between Squeak and Pharo? And what are some of the reasons you choose to work in it?
