That sands for microprocessors. Minicomputers had usually bigger rates. Xerox Alto was, for example, 5.88 MHz in 1973.

You are missing some background. First, Pharo uses libgit2 and provides its own merging mechanism to this library. It understands the code much better than plain Git, so code merging usually has fewer conflicts. Second, for Pharo, the code

This is a list of quite rare features that make Pharo interesting: https://pharo.org/features

Neil Postman: "Puffs of smoke are insufficiently complex to express ideas on the nature of existence, and even if they were not, a Cherokee philosopher would run short of either wood or blankets long before he reached his second axiom.

Pharo uses libgit2 binding and adds nice tools on top of it. The development of Pharo itself is based on Git/Github. So it uses standard Git workflow with branches, pull-requests, CI building and testing etc., but because it has method

There is a booklet about Git integration: http://books.pharo.org/booklet-ManageCode/pdf/2019-03-24-Man... For 2D graphics, Pharo uses Cairo binding named Athens (and Roassal as another convinient layer above that)

Pharo is bootstrapped, and its building process starts with a really minimal image (even the compiler is not included). It is possible to build custom images of any size. You need to take care of packages and dependencies, of course. Pharo

Pharo has all this solved quite well.

I think that the magic ingredient is not the image itself. Imagine that you have the language where every method/function is in its own file, and most of them are very short (two, three lines). Then the text editing functionality of th

These are the statistics from base Pharo. Enterprise systems will probably have, in average, longer methods because of longer domain-specific names and tests that are usually more descriptive.

They wrote: Rosetta Smalltalk was shown at the Exidy booth at NCC'81 and beta-tested at about 40 sites across the country. But it was unfortunatelly discarded as soon as Xerox published Smalltalk-80.

I never thouht of Smalltalk as being verbose. It has basically no boilerplate code, almost no syntax and good Smalltalk code is usually well factored. In Pharo, average method has 5 lines (median is 3) of 32 characters (median is 24). Usual

There was one Smalltalk-72 inspired implementation not created by PARC. It was based on their publications before Smalltalk-80 was released. Rosetta Smalltalk

There is a try to resurrect the Interlisp ( https://interlisp.org/ ), but it is just for preserving the old Gem. Anyway, it is a true tragedy that Genera and Interlisp do not have any modern open successor that would coin and
