Re: [Pharo-dev] ModTalk

They presented it today.  What I gathered is that it's a
extra-curricular project for students to "get their hands dirty" after
going through his Programming Languages class.  One aim is to make a
small, tiny, file-based Smalltalk project (without use of an image).
It seemed pretty rough, which is perfect for students to have
something difficult to wrangle with.

The conference had a fantastic first day.  So many well-known
Smalltalkers are here -- Allen and Rebecca Wirfs Brock, Dave Thomas,
Dan Ingalls and many more..

how many of them are still doing Smalltalk?
Allen is working on JS, no?
I know dan is working at SAP so is he using Smalltalk to build the tera bit VM? Still working on it?

Well, if "doing" includes traveling across the world, getting up on a
stage and talking about and promoting it, then I'd say all of them.
Besides that, I have no idea what they're doing with their time.
