This is exciting news, and I would like to say "hello" to Richard Kenneth Eng, the sole user of Pharo in the world.

It's getting harder to pick between Pharo vs Eiffel for a new project :)

What is compelling about Eiffel? Serious question.

I know at least 5 Pharo users, and one of them wrote a book about it (for the other 4 :P). They were part of a research group at university and made us students use it. I get why it's nice and all, but honestly it feels a bit like Crossfit, or Vim. There are a small handful of excited users who try to convice everyone else how amazing it is. (Sorry, Oscar et al.)

tbh im not sure what the value of this comment is here; also not a fan of talking down on other people's work (irrespective of how much you might dislike them). the most charitable explanation is that this was sarcasm?
