I am preparing to do some open-source development that I have been thinking about for some time. It will ultimately be a cloud-based web service that interrogates other web services. As one of the joys of this work, I can call the shots and return to my 90s-era Smalltalk roots. I've settled on Pharo and (at least initially) Seaside. But it has been almost 15 years since my last real Smalltalk work. So I am unfamiliar with the current ecosystem. Which versions of Pharo and Seaside are stable enough for real work? And where and what else do you suggest a returning Smalltalker explore before beginning? Thanks!
Well, the stable version is Pharo 2.0 and Seaside 3.0.9.
(Both pharo 3 and seaside 3.1 are already a lot better, but since they are development versions, I wouldn't recommend them for production yet).
