I enjoyed playing around with Pharo a few years back, and often look at what else the people working on it have been thinking of lately.
Having said that, the PharoJS website mentioned in the article could use some love, I just get an unstyled webpage[0]. Now, I love avoiding website bloat as much as the next guy, but from the point of view of a web developer who might be interested in exploring what Pharo and Smalltalk in general might have to offer, that seems a bit too minimal.
Amber, by comparison, runs a full SmallTalk on the website itself, which is pretty cool[1]. Doesn't seem to have maintained momentum beyond 2014 though.

- scroot 9y agoFYI for anyone reading / interested: Amber is apparently still under active development, but they moved from Github to a self hosted platform [1]. Last code update was 3 days ago. [1] https://lolg.it/amber/amber https://lolg.it/amber/amber
- vanderZwan 9y agoOh, that's good! But the website and documentation is pretty outdated then. I guess all current development goes into code?
