Is there a supported way to run a program from this on Android? I can find a few projects on google but nothing looks very official.

I like it from a distance, but I don't really want to learn yet another thing that would be desktop/server only.


Is there anyone who've used this? For what?


https://pharo.org/success/

It's used for real application development. It's honestly a great environment for building software


There's a subsection in the site that lists examples of Pharo use. See https://pharo.org/success/

As a cool example of an educational game created using Pharo, see the Pharo Chip Designer: https://github.com/pavel-krivanek/PharoChipDesigner/blob/mas...


Yeah, that's my question too. Pharo seems interesting, in a "play around with the computer" kind of way. I could see it being a great learning environment for teenagers who are starting to look into programming. Is that an intended use case?


If you look at the book section linked from the docs you'll find several PDF books you can download and follow for learning industrial/commercial use of Pharo.


I still wish Pharo took more pride in being a version of Smalltalk.


Pharo : Smalltalk :: Racket : Lisp


I'm willing to be happy that Pharo persists, whatever the name.

I'm willing to be happy that there's also https://cuis.st/


I also like Cuis-Smalltalk. ;-)
