I would like to disagree with you, but I can’t. Pharo, and Squeak that it is derivative from, is an odd development experience. A long time ago I experimented with making web apps with Pharo, fun, but I wouldn’t use it in production. When I saw this announcement I was motivated to update my Pharo NLP library https://github.com/mark-watson/nlp_smalltalk https://github.com/mark-watson/nlp_smalltalk but I may not. Many NLP tasks are now done infinitely better using deep learning and LLMs. I just looked for OpenAI API support and found 2 year old Pharo project library https://github.com/pharo-ai/open-ai https://github.com/pharo-ai/open-ai and maybe more promising 1 year old project by Bracken https://github.com/brackendev/OpenAI-Pharo https://github.com/brackendev/OpenAI-Pharo EDIT: to be fair to Pharo, I am not really a Smalltalk person. In 1983 someone at Xerox arranged for me to get a trial Smalltalk system on My Xerox 1108 Lisp Machine, and I removed it within a few weeks.
