Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback (think IDE and OS rolled into one).

We've had to work in Pharo for our OOP uni course, and it was one of the worse experiences I've had in school. Mind you, it was something like 7 years ago, so the language may very well be a lot better now, but the whole "your IDE is the code" felt cubersome, it was buggy and crashed randomly, and in general I spent more time fighting with the IDE than doing something useful.

It was a bad time, but also a great learning experience. Being forced to work in something that IMO sucks is an useful skill, but I never want to see that language again :D
