[Pharo-project] [Pharo-Project] Pharo scripting

by Gwenael Casaccio

Hi, I've published an initial release of Pharo scripting you cant get this release here : http://www.squeaksource.com/SaphirScripting. I would like to thanks *Mathieu Suen* who has done a very good work and give me a lot of help !!! You need the last version of the AST : http://www.squeaksource.com/AST and also the NewCompiler : http://www.squeaksource.com/NewCompiler but don't try the last version use the *281* And finally you can add the OSProcess repository : http://www.squeaksource.com/OSProcess. Don't worry if when you load the NewCompiler package you have a warning about a missing SmaccSomething :) here is a small example of the syntax : [ Object subclass: #SaBox instanceVariableNames: ''bob'' classVariableNames: '''' poolDictionaries: '''' category: ''SandBox'' ] SaBox >> initialize [ <category: ''initialize release''> <authorInitials: ''him''> bob := ''Script test working''. ] SaBox >> printOn: aStream [ <authorInitials: ''him''>" aStream nextPutAll: bob ] SaBox class >> dummy [ <authorInitials: ''him''> ^3 ] [ SaBox new printString. ] If you want the scripts are launched at startUp do : Smalltalk addToStartUpList: ScriptInterpreter you can script you system with pharo ;) Cheers, Gwenael
