What about: Pharo a MALEABLE language to build evolvable and debuggable applications.

With Pharo and its ecosystem you can build powerful tools (web application, data management, business processesâ¦). Â Pharo philosophy is driven by domain driven design. Modeling is agile.

by Sven Van Caekenberghe Feb. 20, 2012

Feb. 20, 2012

I updated my Pharo HTTP Server OneCommandLine Demo for 1.4 http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Core-HTTP-Server-OneCommandLine-Demo-td3702218.… How easy and how fast can you download, install and start an complete Pharo based HTTP Server on a bare Linux machine ? It just takes One Single Command Line: $ curl http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/pharo-server.sh | bash In well under a minute, you can browse http://localhost:1701 and all this with less than 20Mb being downloaded. Enjoy, Sven -- Sven Van Caekenberghe http://stfx.eu Smalltalk is the Red Pill

[Pharo-project] Script for building 1-click images
by Martin Sandiford Feb. 20, 2012

Feb. 20, 2012

Hi Folks, In the hope that it might be useful, I've somewhat tidied up some scripts I've been using to build 1-click images from Jenkins and uploaded to github. Nothing much to the script, but hoping it might ease the burden for whomever is doing this by hand at the moment. Git repo is here: https://github.com/msandiford/mk1click Cheers, Martin

[Pharo-project] Marking methods
by Bernat Romagosa Feb. 20, 2012

Feb. 20, 2012

Hi list, I've been thinking for a while that it'd be great if we could somehow graphically mark methods in the browser. Like adding an icon next to their name or highlighting them in different colors. When reviewing code, I find myself going through methods and would love to be able to mark them once they've been reviewed, to prevent me from going through them again. Does anyone else have the same needs? How do you guys manage this? I thought about flagging methods, but that'd mean I'd have to read through all my methods again to remove the flags once I'm done with the revision. Cheers, -- Bernat Romagosa.

Feb. 20, 2012

Slides look ok, but its the voice I missed most ;-) It is since long time I am watching from distance Spoon, i.e. tried to read and understand what it is about and more importantly what its potentials are. I am still willing to understand more. Please go ahead with documenting/explaining your work and vision!

[Pharo-project] Call for Submission on Special issue on "Advances in Dynamic Languages"
by Andres Valloud Feb. 20, 2012

Feb. 20, 2012

================================================ Special issue on "Advances in Dynamic Languages" ================================================ Special issue of Elsevier's Science of Computer Programming (SCICO) Context ------- Over recent years we have seen an increased interest in dynamic programming languages such as Smalltalk, Lisp, Scheme, PHP, JavaScript, Self, Python, Ruby, and so on. These languages have taken a prominent role in teaching, web development, scripting, rapid prototyping, tool building, language engineering, and many other domains. For this special issue we invite high-quality papers that focus on novel research related to dynamic programming languages and applications of these languages. We are interested in research that uses dynamic languages in the context of, but not restricted to: - Aspects, aspect Languages and applications. - Ambient intelligence, ubiquitous / pervasive computing and embedded systems. - Compilation technology, optimization, virtual machines. - Language engineering, extensions. - Model-driven engineering / development. - Meta-modeling, reflection and meta-programming. - Programming in the large; design, architectures and components. - Programming environments, browsers, user interfaces, UI frameworks. - Source-code analysis and manipulation (static analysis, refactoring, type inference, metrics). - Testing, eXtreme Programming / practices. - Web services, internet applications, event-driven programming. - Experience reports. The special issue is associated with the Smalltalks 2011 conference. The Smalltalks series of conferences (www.fast.org.ar) is a lively forum on Smalltalk-based software technologies that brings together more than 200 people from both academia and industry for a period of three days. Submission Guidelines --------------------- Papers should be written in English, in PDF-format and should not exceed 25 pages (including references and figures), using the Elsevier journal format. The LaTeX template for this format can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authorsview.authors/latex Papers must be submitted through the EES submission system located at http://ees.elsevier.com/scico/default.asp. When reaching the "Article type" step in the submission process, it is important to select "Special issue: Advances in Dynamic Languages". Each paper will be reviewed by at least 3 experts within the domain. The accepted papers will be published in a special edition of Elsevier's Science of Computer Programming. Papers submitted must not have been previously published (at least 30% new material) and must not be under review for publication elsewhere. Papers must strictly adhere to submission guidelines. If you have questions, please send an e-mail to Jannik Laval (jlaval(a)labri.fr) and Andy Kellens (akellens(a)vub.ac.be) Important dates (tentatively) ----------------------------- - Submission round 1: March 16, 2012 - Feedback round 1: May 17, 2012 - Submission round 2: June 29, 2012 - Feedback round 2 (final notification): August 17, 2012 - Camera ready version: September 14, 2012 Guest editors ------------- - Andy Kellens (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium) - Jannik Laval (LaBRI Bordeaux, France) .
