Igor, GemStone's Smalltalk parser/compiler is implemented in C ... I told you that JSON is and was a pragmatic choice ... The seaside JSON parser is 27 methods and runs without change in GemStone ... this is all covered in the other two threads, so maybe you should spend some time reading up on the issues that have already been hashed over twice so far... Oh wait, now there are now three threads that are covering the "why JSON" question:) Dale ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Igor Stasenko" <siguctua(a)gmail.com> | To: Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr | Sent: Monday, April 23, 2012 5:21:57 PM | Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] About Cypress [Was: Re: [ANN] Styled Text Editor for Cuis 4.0 Smalltalk] | | On 24 April 2012 03:17, Dale Henrichs <dhenrich(a)vmware.com> wrote: | > Igor, | > | > A lot of your questions/assertions were addressed in the two | > existing threads ... | > | > Smalltalk parsers are not available in all Smalltalk dialects, so | > again, JSON is and was a pragmatic choice, pure and simple. | > | what? how is that? smalltalk which cannot parse smalltalk? but can | parse JSON? ;) | | > The entire disk-based package structure has a number of warts of | > varying sizes and qualities, but the one thing that is true is | > that we have 5 Smalltalk dialects (with more coming) sharing the | > same package structure and the same version control system ... | > something that has never been true before and _that_ is the most | > important thing right now... | > | that's out of the question | | > Dale | > | > ----- Original Message ----- | > | From: "Igor Stasenko" <siguctua(a)gmail.com> | > | To: Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr | > | Sent: Monday, April 23, 2012 4:07:04 PM | > | Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] About Cypress [Was: Re: [ANN] Styled | > | Text Editor for Cuis 4.0 Smalltalk] | > | | > | On 24 April 2012 01:54, Dale Henrichs <dhenrich(a)vmware.com> | > | wrote: | > | > Igor, | > | > | > | > The short answer is: | > | > | > | > Â We could have used literal arrays, but it would have taken | > | > Â more | > | > Â work up | > | > Â front than using the existing (portable) Seaside JSON parser. | > | > | > | umm.. what more work?

Re: [Pharo-project] About Cypress [Was: Re: [ANN] Styled Text Editor for Cuis 4.0 Smalltalk]

by Dale Henrichs

Igor, A lot of your questions/assertions were addressed in the two existing threads ... Smalltalk parsers are not available in all Smalltalk dialects, so again, JSON is and was a pragmatic choice, pure and simple. The entire disk-based package structure has a number of warts of varying sizes and qualities, but the one thing that is true is that we have 5 Smalltalk dialects (with more coming) sharing the same package structure and the same version control system ... something that has never been true before and _that_ is the most important thing right now...

Re: [Pharo-project] new icon set

by Fernando Olivero

oh! you just solved an issue i've had with the icons in the Gaucho ZUI. Scaling .png icons results in a great lost of quality, so i was creating my own icons by hand using Athens....but i'm not a profesional designer, so... now i can plug a IconFamilySet that renders svg icons via Athens! Does the current SVG importer reads such icon files? or i have to wait a bit more.
