Pharo: Status and Plans
FOSDEM 2015

Pharo3 was released in March 2014. Not even a year later, we are close to the release of Pharo4.

This talk will give an overview of the changes and improvements done and show some demos of new functionality. Again, Pharo4 is just a small step: after the release in the Spring of 2015, we will start to iteratet on Pharo5. I will present the roadmap of what we will work on in Pharo5.
