I don't want to sound picky, but "curl get.pharo.org | bash" is not acceptable for production - First security, and second reproducability, also availability, but I see - this could've been an internally set (intranet) site where this would be accepted.

But my point was that if someone has started "./pharo Pharo.image .." on a production service and modified it live, then it'll be a problem (what if you haven't saved, or your changes were not propagated yet to the source version control system?) - also how this would propagate changes to other slave machines running it there too?

But it's pretty cool and advanced when developing the system. I'm now stuck a bit with Java/GWT, and I'm glad that there is SuperDevMode which incrementally compiles java->javascript (and few other things). Still its far away from Ctrl+X+E on your block in Lisp.
