the french mooc platform FUN made a Pharo MOOC and it was beyond great

the smalltalk universe is pretty special, the live graphical environment is thrilling and their idioms/culture is also very interesting

The MOOC is great. It was my introduction to Pharo and Smalltalk programming. The focus is on web development, I hope they eventually create a version geared towards data science. I'm still far from mastering Pharo, or any Smalltalk-like languages, but just scratching the surface made me remind that William Gibson quote: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed".

I thought they'd leverage more of the visual aspect of pharo for visualization/statistics. Maybe next time :)

If you're interested in visualization/statistics with Pharo, you should check out Alexandre Bergel's work at http://agilevisualization.com/ . Alexandre kindly gave a presentation on this topic at the October 2020 UK Smalltalk User Group meeting: https://vimeo.com/473356757 .
