About Pharo
Pharo was created in 2008 as a fork of the Squeak programming language, which itself was derived from Smalltalk-80. It emerged from the need for a clean and modern Smalltalk environment focused on innovation and research. The initial development was driven by the community to improve performance, remove outdated code, and introduce new features.
Pharo's strengths include its live coding environment, powerful debugging tools, and strong support for metaprogramming. Its weaknesses are a smaller community, fewer libraries compared to mainstream languages, and limited commercial adoption. Competitors include Python, Ruby, and other Smalltalk dialects like Squeak and VisualWorks.
