Oh! I like your approach.. Let me quickly clarify my situation. In that section of the article, I was referring to my workplace. In my case, no one else in the dev department knows smalltalk. In a great many workplaces, devs don’t really want to learn a new language / framework without going off to a developer summer camp or something like that.
I have found that once a developer gets to a certain level of competence, they can quickly (in a weekend?) get up to speed on the use of a new language / framework to get their project done. For a long time, I felt the sting of the “most popular language lists” as companies wanted to start all projects in PHP so that if the senior devs moved on, they could just hire some kids “cheap, just out of school” to work on the project. i do think there are lots of things about to change Pharo’s place in the world, especially the Pharo MOOC.. there was one claim you made in that post that got me thinking ""No one else knows Smalltalk." So I wonder how many developers amount to "no one". ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary Public Key: http://bit.ly/29z9fG0 #BitMessage BM-NBaswViL21xqgg9STRJjaJaUoyiNe2dV http://www.Village-Buzz.com http://www.ThoseOptimizeGuys.com http://www.coffee-black.com http://www.painlessfrugality.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101
