I’ve been playing around in Pharo [0] and it’s such an immersive experience! My first reaction was to compare to eMacs in that the editor/environment is the program and it can be edited, customized, extended… but Pharo/Smalltalk takes it to the next level of ease of use, discoverable and fun!

If you like the emacs-like aspect of Pharo, the Glamorous Toolkit project (which is built on top of Pharo) is worth checking out too. They recently released a digital notebook tool called Lepiter that has a lot of similarities to org-roam/org-babel: https://lepiter.io/feenk/introducing-lepiter--knowledge-mana...

thanks for the suggestion! will take a look

Did they release it? The blog is about it but there's no link. This seems to be the site https://lepiter.com/ but it's just a form where you can give your email to "Register for fresh news."

It's released. It's not a separate download -- it's in the Glamorous Toolkit download (which makes sense from a Smalltalk perspective but may be weird if you're not used to it).

lol don't spell emacs like that

Every now and then we get someone on freenode/libre #emacs asking the weirdest questions.

autocorrect :)

If you're on an iPhone, doubtless its autocorrect will assume that what you meant was the plural of that other wonderful Apple product from years past.

> compare to eMacs

Not sure if this is a typo, but if not it is the first time I've ever seen it typed in such a way. No judgement, just noticing.

iPhone autocorrect…
