The more I learn about software development, project management and life in general, the more I am convinced that incremental, evolutionary progress is the only way to move forward. And from that follows directly many very interersting questions both for research and engineering: How do we analyse the old to be able to move it forward? Can we provide better tools for evolution? Can new language features help to build evolvable systems? The fun thing is that this route supports both results that are far- fetched researchy prototypes (see my publications page, for example), as well as down-to- earth, usable, stable artifacts. This is a very nice mixture, I have to admit.

Perhaps this could be changed? Yes, the Mac menus need to be improved. e.g. there should be just one Pharo menu instead of "Squeak VM" and "Files"... I will have a look at that soon.

[Pharo-project] Kom not starting in Pharo-web image

by Adrian Lienhard

In the latest Pharo-web image on startup HttpService complains that 'a service is already running on port 8080' (stack trace attached). Damien said he loaded the latest versions of Seaside/Kom from SqueakSource. If I do "WAKomEncoded startOn: 8080" and restart the image, it works. Is this a known problem and if not, what would be the right place to report it? On the Seaside bug tracker? Cheers, Adrian

[Pharo-project] Why I use Pharo

by John Escobedo

I'm super excited to hear about Pharo 1.0 beta. I thought I'd post about why I'm using Pharo. I started using Pharo about 2 weeks ago and have finally started writing small programs in Smalltalk again. Just over 2 years ago, I was learning Squeak but got frustrated at finding most links dead or things that didn't seem to be maintained. I was very excited with the changes in 3.8 and 3.9 but was left wondering what happened after that. Looking back, it looks like Pharo happened. Thanks so much to everyone.

I just spotted that the hint text of the "Quit" menu item says: "Quit out of Squeak" Similarly for "Save and quit". Perhaps this could be changed?
