Guys - you’re awesome! It really shows why our environment is so powerful and why more people need to think this way!
For back porting - you don’t need to, as for exercism we are loading a script anyway, so I can load in some code until we’re ready for 7.0 I do agree that infinite debuggers is a pressing problem too (and sorry to distract on that one). Still - we want to present our best face when we go live on exercism - and the pharo features list I copied from Pharo.org (slightly tweaked) drove me to live up to the Hugh standards we set ourselves. I’ll definitely try out what you’ve all proposed - I figured if was all possible .
