The growing gap with Pharo is not helping and is really annoying me
+1 but what can be done? The divergence is more and more fundamental e.g. namespaces are only available on Squeak, stateful Traits/real packages (RPackage) only on Pharo. For a time, I tried to sync all my projects between the two, but the effort is exponential, and it wasn't even clear if there would be users…
The only (unrealistic) solution that ever came to my mind would be a reunification - why (besides politically and due to personalities) do cuis, pharo, and squeak have to be independent projects? Now that Pharo is bootstrapped, couldn't the energy of Cuis to have a small, clean system be poured into that effort? Could Squeak be a layer on top with all the cool stuff reimplemented. Well, it's a dream, but maybe fragmentation is just the way of the world/human beings…
