Pharo

Cool! I program for around 7 months in Pharo now at Yesplan [0]. We're hiring a devops engineer and a software engineer. While the Pharo website [1] avoids mentioning it, it's a Smalltalk descendant. What I like about Pharo: 1. Programming in the debugger makes things feel much quicker 2. Evaluating expressions inside your code editor makes programming feel much quicker 3. The ability to quickly browse classes and methods makes programming feel much quicker (e.g. I type Date somewhere, select it, press CMD+B and now I browse the Date class). Don't get me wrong, Pharo has downsides, especially when it comes to using it in production (IMO). With that said, the language feels fun to use! I definitely like it now as my first language for side projects as it is more graphical, more playful, and feels quicker for iterative development (e.g. When consuming APIs). It's why I wanted to learn it in the first place, it has shown me a different philosophy on how programmers <i>interact</i> with a programming language and IDE.

Smalltalk

AFAIK Pharo is a fork of Squeak, which is much more open about it being a smalltalk programming system implementation. https://squeak.org/.
