Yes. this makes another side of the equation: for 95% of clients technology
is not pertinent while it does become impediment to the achievement of
some part of the project.

But, IIRC the idea was to gather info to convince people who have to or want
to select some technology.

Hi:

My own experience as a small software company is that most of my
customers don't ask for a specific technology, only are searching some
sort of business solutions ( but almost the 95% of my customers are
small companies also, without internal developers or with no more than
2 or 3).

In this context, selling business solutions more than talk about the
technology behind, I have no problems in introduce
Pharo/Squeak/Dolphin applications.

Cheers.

They use it for Moose (moosetechnology.org) to analyze their systems written in various languages and to introduce an assessment approach in their day to day development process (humane-assessment.com). A number of them are now learning to program in Pharo and Moose.
