Strange that the Pharo home page doesn't explain what Pharo does. I'm not familiar with Pharo and after scrutinizing the Pharo home page I'm still don't have a clue what it does.
I see a lot of mentions of Smalltalk on this page yet 'Smalltalk' doesn't appear on the Pharo home page.
Am I missing something? If I'm not already familiar with Pharo, am I simply not part of the intended audience?
- vincentperes 14y agoagree, really hard to find out what it is, the only work that I catch and gave me a hint is 'virtual machines', but still pretty vague
- epo 14y agoMust be really hard to figure you are looking at a download page and then to click on "home".
- adamors 14y agoNot trying to be a dick or anything, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharo
- rasur 14y agoThere's a link on the home page - "About" which goes into a bit more depth.
- nextputall 14y agoOn the top of the website you can see: "Pharo is a clean, innovative, open-source Smalltalk-inspired environment". Basically it is a programming language + ide + image based virtual machine.
- Garoof 14y ago> I see a lot of mentions of Smalltalk on this page yet 'Smalltalk' doesn't appear on the Pharo home page. Huh? Are we looking at the same page? On the home page I see "Pharo's goal is to deliver a clean, innovative, free open-source Smalltalk-inspired environment." (Note that the HN link is not to the home page, but to the 2.0 download page.)
