> I see a lot of mentions of Smalltalk on this page yet 'Smalltalk' doesn't appear on the Pharo home page.

Huh? Are we looking at the same page? On the home page I see "Pharo's goal is to deliver a clean, innovative, free open-source Smalltalk-inspired environment."

(Note that the HN link is not to the home page, but to the 2.0 download page.)

On the top of the website you can see: "Pharo is a clean, innovative, open-source Smalltalk-inspired environment".

Basically it is a programming language + ide + image based virtual machine.

Not trying to be a dick or anything, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharo

There's a link on the home page - "About" which goes into a bit more depth.

agree, really hard to find out what it is, the only work that I catch and gave me a hint is 'virtual machines', but still pretty vague

Must be really hard to figure you are looking at a download page and then to click on "home".
