I did this one a while ago. http://pharo.org/success/CableExpertise

So is is good for doing some web application dealing with lots of devices.

Have a Jira client for doing lots of Jira automation using the REST API, along with a bunch of goodies etc. Pharo was quite practical to deal with that.

Am finishing up an XMPP client, and writing callbacks for dealing with XEPs etc is a dream in a live environment like Pharo. Expect more there soon.

Compared to other things I did with say Java or .NET, they all take longer and are more convoluted. I used to be a Java full time dev/tech lead/architect for years.

I am still doing Hadoop stuff but it all feels like there is always an annoying ton of accidental complexity in the Java/.Net camp.

Check http://pharo.org/success/Quuve for a rationale about picking Pharo instead of Python.
