good article on mainstream adoption of programming languages
by Johan Brichau April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Since this discussion often returns on this mailinglist, here is a good article. It focuses on Haskell, but a lot of arguments apply to Smalltalk as well. http://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2014/04/29/what-do-you-think-is-impeding-… cheers Johan

Mac - Identified Developers
by Ben Coman April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

From reddit... > My mac complains: "Pharo3.0" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Your security prefernces allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers. Of course I just can turn off this. But still. What is the constraint to producing the Mac version as an identified developer? cheers -ben

[Fuel] Serialize and materialize to GZip
by roberto.minelli＠usi.ch April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Hi, Following the Fuel test FLUserGuidesTest>>#testGZip I discovered that I can serialize and materialize to and from GZip archives. Cool! I tried with some small test object and it worked like a charm. When I tried with a large objectâ¦ Serialization - It does not work, the image instantly crashes Materialization - Since I was not able to serialize the large object on GZip, I serialized "normally" than compressed the resulting fuel file using GZipWriteStream class>>#compressFile: - When I materialize from the GZip archive, it takes forever and does not succeed after more than 1 minute. Note that the same non-Gzipped file takes a couple of seconds to be materialized. How can I handle this? Thanks in advance, Roby

Pen back in the image
by phil＠highoctane.be April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Hello, I'd like to see the Pen class coming back in the main image. It really is useful for getting people acquainted with the tools and the bluebook uses it. I am not asking for a form editor (it could be handy though). Path is dead as it was hijacked by FileSystem. I miss it too. What do you people think? Phil
