I got curious, downloaded and installed it on my computer. Checked the docs, and the next step was to download a stable image. Downloaded 11 (stable) and started it. Then blank stare to screen! What should I do? Lots of things to click on, and no text editor..
Searched for a tutorial on the website, and found nothing! I don't want to spend 30 minutes to look at some random videos of Virtual Reality in Thames or whatever, or read "Pharo for Rubyists" (I use mostly Python). I just wanted to explore a bit, and maybe if it seemed interesting, tomorrow I would continue exploring it. But now I've deleted Pharo!
Warning to other project maintainers: just show a tutorial, or an hands-on doc, so that newcomers may get a feeling of what it is. This is especially important for relatively unknown projects like this.
Some projects that have done it right:
- https://www.djangoproject.com/start/
- https://go.dev/ (Search for Try Go in the main page)
- https://www.python.org/ (Carrousel showing some aspects of the language)
- https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021
- others I can't remember now..
