Some numbers to compare it against Pharo: Currently 472 people are actively subscribed to the pharo mailing list. Looking at the past year until now about 127 people have posted something at least once per month on average (27% of active subscribers as of today). The same for the last three months gives 99 people.

Re: [Pharo-project] fun with NBOpenGL
by Fernando Olivero Feb. 25, 2012

Great to see 3D on Pharo again! Just a remark, somewhere there should be stated that directly loading vertex one by one with glVertex3f(..); is deprecated in the latest OpenGL. In favor of mechanisms that load the geometry to the renderer as a whole, as for example vertex buffer objects. In short, in the examples is ok to use, for learning the inner workings of OpenGL. Newer examples should make use of current practices of OpenGL. I think that Nehe examples web page states that. I think that a framework such as Lumiere, would be needed to provide higher abstractions and more efficient handling of geometry. Maybe when i finish my Phd, i can continue to work on it.

Dennis, your screenshots are awesome, hope remains for a direct manipulation framework such as Morphic to beet lesser and boring standard UI WIDGETS frameworks. And by the way, Morphic isnt ours..it comes from a groundbreaking object-focused environment called SELF.

[Pharo-project] Weird result with OSProcess and Applescript
by Sean P. DeNigris Feb. 24, 2012

Feb. 24, 2012

1. The following hangs forever. The output is there, but the process never completes PipeableOSProcess waitForCommand: '/usr/bin/osascript -ss -e "tell application \"Safari\" to get source of current tab of window 1"'. 2. The same command in Terminal returns right away. 3. And this works: PipeableOSProcess waitForCommand: '/usr/bin/osascript -ss -e "tell application \"Safari\" to get window 1"'. So #2 would seem to rule out a problem with the command, and #3 with the connection between OSProcess and Applescript. I have no idea where to go from here... sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Weird-result-with-OSProcess-and-Applescript-tp4415603… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Pharo-project] NB How can I pass a NULL argument?
by Jan van de Sandt Feb. 24, 2012

Feb. 24, 2012

Hello list, I want to call the following C function using NativeBoost: const char* uenum_next(UEnumeration * en, int32_t * resultLength, UErrorCode * status) According to the (icu4c) documentation you can pass NULL for the resultLenth argument [1]. But when I try: self nbCall: #( char* uenum_next_48( self, nil, ICUErrorCodeNB* anErrorCode ) ) module: 'libicuuc.dylib' My image craches. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Jan. [1] http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/uenum_8h.html#a99298eabaa3874cdfd9793b2…
