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?

dunno why you're getting downvoted. also that original comment suffers from the fallacy of popularity (which is 50/50. Something popular is so either because it's good, or because of chance).

The comment mocking Pharo/Smalltalk could have been written by someone who probably writes in one of the Blub languages that are extremely popular. LOL.
