Hi! Happy to see that Moose has shined!
Having a scientific (or even "half-scientific" with IEEE Software) would help (me at least) promote humane assessment. Side note: last week I started to teach Pharo and Moose to 14 students. I am quite happy to see them pharoing. Delightful sensation to see them browsing, coding and reading pharo by example.
