I thought it was interesting at the recent Pharo Days that there was an attendee from the clinical medical field - who had heard about Smalltalk and wanted to learn more. When we asked him where he heard about it, he referenced these Mr Smalltalk medium articles in question - so I guess there’s another happy customer.
I found them useful too, but appreciated the back story you’ve provided, as sometimes you don’t always understand the author and their intent (which can get easily misinterpreted). So thanks for the effort put in.
