Pharo

The immersive programming experience

Visit Pharo

Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and development environment in the Smalltalk tradition, where everything is an object. It combines a language, an IDE and a live image into a single system, so code can be browsed, modified, tested and debugged without leaving the environment. The platform is fully open-source under the MIT license and is developed by an international community coordinated by the Pharo consortium.
