Hi:

I would like to port my VW code for motion simulation

to Pharo. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

ask on the VW mailing list (or search the interwebs; currently can't remember what specific to search for besides: porting pharo visualworks namespaces), someone was boasting pretty complete exporter, capable of "de-namespacing", among other things.

It was used to port some other sizeable project to Pharo, AFAIR.

Sorry, that's all I have.

Hi Aik-Siong

Check the archives of this mailing-list because people discussed it.
Do you have tests because it can really help you?
The tests in Moose really helped me when I migrated Moose from VW to Pharo.
you may have some differences with float precision.
Some people such as Christian Haidler or Pavel Krivanek did some exporting tools from VW.
In the past, I published on store a file format for Squeak (and you should patch the assignment because pharo does not support _)
You may have some issues with namespaces but if you did not use private import you can just map a namespace to a class prefix.
I suggest that
you build a baseline as soon as you start to have a package.
you commit on github
you add GH actions running your tests
there is an intensive documentation on baseline in the
https://github.com/pharo-open-documentation/pharo-wiki
Will you port GF/ST too?
I have a limited amount of time but I could give you some hands.
Now I do not have access to VW for years.
