squeak is very similar to pharo (which is based on squeak) but pharo is a lot more user-friendly and looks nicer. they are both smalltalks - i agree that pharo trying to pretend otherwise is a bit strange.
- pjmlp 3y agoBecause in a similar vein to Dr. Scheme => Raket, Pharo has moved from its raw Smalltalk roots.
- Qem 3y agoOr similar to Perl => Raku. The Pharo developers took a wise decision renaming it. Because if you keep the same name, people expect nothing short of total backward compatibility with whatever there was before. If one wants to keep the option to experiment and eventually break backward compatibility, it's better to rename it.
- em-bee 3y agoi would not say moved, but rather expanded. the roots are still there in both.
