It's Squeak with a better default look and feel and more pragmatic, mature development goals.

IIRC it's removed some of the non-development related stuff as well (like etoys).

The sooner they can get rid of all the horrible Squeak graphics the better. Was playing with Pharo last night and, unfortunately, it still doesn't take long to run into Squeak aesthetics.

We are working hard on it. We need more people to help us. Feel free to join.

Thanks Damien. Pharo is definitely a much-needed project.

So will it run seaside?

Seaside is developed in Pharo, so yes.

shows how much I know. Thanks.
