you see a welcome wizard when you open it. it has pages, as the arrow show clearly (maybe this is not understood?)... and the 3rd page is literally a pointer to resources to learn pharo (including a small tutorial called ProfStef and an online MOOC).

it works everywhere gtk3 works (we have production applications in windows, macOS and obviously linux)

truth to be told, we learned that the hard way ;) but we learned! :P

there was a problem with the PhL, that took more time to update of what we thought. Now it should be working... but please take into account that 32bit versions are deprecated (unless you're working on ARM)

it doesn't yet support the whole IDE (because it has some other complications, we will solve in next release), but it supports application development with it.

weird, it loads correctly for me. Yes, a bunch of companies (some of them very important in their fields) are backing Pharo... but Pharo is a community effort, made by hundreds of people.

it requires an update :)

Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback.

I have to say this: I am the architect of Pharo (bah, the guy who has the responsibility of putting the pieces together and handle the releases). While I cannot do anything about it, I do not feel comfortable (and I know a lot if not all the members of the "core team" either) with this kind of "evangelisation". We love our little environment, and we certainly believe it has merits enough to be considered a player in the language ecosystem. We do our language with passion and conviction, but also with respect for other languages and programmers.

While the author has the right to do as he thinks is the best, please consider this is not how the team developing Pharo thinks and act.

our server is having problems handling the traffic :( But try again later, you will not regret it!
