Pharo

Pharo is an upcoming open source PHP programming framework that aims to streamline development of all websites, large and small, with a minimal learning curve.

This project is unrelated to the Pharo Smalltalk dialect.

At the core of the Pharo framework is a module loader with awareness of module and version dependencies and known conflicts. The system is being designed from the ground up to boast a completely hands-free update system inspired by Debian's APT package manager.

This project is still in early development, but stay tuned. To try out the development builds in Debian-based Linux distributions, add the following line to your APT package sources:

deb http://apt-trunk.pharo.org/ stable main
