Now for pharo we have a vision:
We want a system to invent the next one and that people can make a

- good infrastructure
- meta model for code
- browser for remote/crosscompilation/default browsing

At the end it may not be Smalltalk but it will be the same spirit. I think that
we are slowly getting to the point
where we will start to invent new things instead of just removing old
experiences.
I rather believe it will be Smalltalk. After all, consider how different

Smalltalk.
