the way I see it the fork really worked in your favor as Pharo is doing very well so far. Its hard to fork but even harder to share the same vision.
Personally I really love the fact that Pharo is made up of open minded people and that you are open to new ideas, yet you have the discipline to set realistic goals and achieve them. I have no doubt that Pharo
can only get more popular because this combination, I think, is what modern coding really lacks.

Hi ron
What I can tell you is that I invested a lot into squeak (I’m still the guy with the largest number of books about squeak: sbe, botsinc, squeak(fr)),
videos, lectures, journal articles, web site, so it was not an easy solution. But this was an important one
to keep my smalltalk love and not jump into something or quit definitively.
I still want a really cool system to build multimedia systems of the future and for that I dream about robust and cool (clean, lean nicely designed)
infrastructure. So we will see where we go.
