Look at Scala for example. It’s becoming quite popular, and it was developed for 10 years. Pharo still has a lot of time to attract people, but we need to push something new. It’s not java like smalltalk, or something smalltalk-inspired that looks like C. For me Pharo is what had to happen to Smalltalk: evolution. Usually Smalltalk is mentioned with “80” suffix. Pharo is Smalltalk2013. And we can make it really cool, but we should stick to smalltalk philosophy. Having tools, working with objects, etc...
