Happy New Year, everyone!
Over the last year, I went through a rather extensive tour and I directly exposed Moose, GT and Pharo to some 2000+ technical people through various sessions and trainings at conferences and companies. The tour will continue this year.
Most of the sessions are not directly about Moose, GT or Pharo, but about broader topics that are served through what we do around here. These topics can relate to solving problems without reading code, to steering agile architecture, or more recently, to even broader topics like software environmentalism. If you are wondering what software environmentalism is, please take a look at this talk: https://youtu.be/N3l3eB62oSw?list=PLqvTNJtc942Cs9Qo4ikCGrUNtAw93Q0JA
I now have the confirmation that there is a whole space which is unaddressed by mainstream technologies. Often people find themselves frustrated having to build their systems on top of opaque technologies with not much hope of understanding what is going on under the hood both because they do not have access to what is behind and because they are provided lack the tools to investigate. You see, developers are suppose to have the coolest job on the planet, and many of them are unhappy. This has to change, and we can do that.
In a conversation I had with a highly respected researcher, after explaining how our tools allow us to work, he noted reluctantly “so, you are claiming that you are practicing a fundamentally different software engineering?”. This question took me a little by surprise because the only answer I found myself being able to provide was “yes”. I sent him this talk: https://youtu.be/XWOOJa3kEa0?list=PLqvTNJtc942Cs9Qo4ikCGrUNtAw93Q0JA
It is strange to be in the position to tell the world that we are constructing something fundamentally better, but I really do believe that we are.
I wish you a happy and bold new year!
Cheers, Doru

Happy New Year to Everyone and to you Doru,
I think you are right. I am also thinking that Moose, Pharo and Roassal enable me to work with complex software applications in a fundamentally different way.
I work in software maintenance, so I needed one additional tool (that could be used for any languages) http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~RainerWinkler/RW-Moose-Diagram . This was too complex for me to develop, before I learned of Moose, Pharo and Roassal. All this tools together allow me now to work with complex legacy code in a completely different way.
Analyzing, understanding and visualizing code is much easier and faster then before. When I have to touch a part of an application, it is now much faster to create a diagram of the objects that have to care for. It was possible before, but needed much more manual work and time. Now it is much easier, so I can do it much more often. I use Moose and Pharo therefore nearly every day in my projects to do this.
Thank you all for this wonderful treasure box of tools and ideas.
Cheers, Rainer
