Smalltalk Virtual Machine, StVM

by askoh

There is a trend of making languages to run on Java Virtual Machine. But it still cannot run Smalltalk like Smalltalk on Smalltalk VM. Is it a possible goal? How about running Java on the StVM so that Java can have the live environment and debugging capabilities like in full blown Smalltalk? How about doing the same for Python, Ruby, Lisp, ObjC, C#, etc? Thanks in advanced for all you thoughts.

Re: [Pharo-dev] SmalltalkHub username/password in environment variable?

A while ago, Sean did this: Sean P.

Done, added to world menu under the individual repo login options The way the logins work is that a file named .mcconfig is expected in the general preferences folder with the format: [squeaksource] user := 'me'. password := 'pwd'. [squeaksource3] user := 'me'. password = 'pwd'. [smalltalkhub] user := 'me'. password := 'pwd'. But I do not see where is is used... Sean?

SmalltalkHub username/password in environment variable?

by Mircea Filip Lungu

Hi folks, Is there a way of setting the SmalltalkHub username and password in an environment variable or an external configuration file as opposed to setting them in every repository in every image? It gets old introducing them always :) Cheers, M. -- Mircea Lungu, PhD. Researcher Software Composition Group University of Bern

Really looks pro. On day we may see this on a sci-fi movie, some time not well know UI are used in such movies :) Hilaire Le 14/05/2014 11:30, phil(a)highoctane.be a Ã©crit : > > This is the thing running on my linux box now, using the updated > PharoDawnTheme from Sebastian. > -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu

Re: [Pharo-dev] a Pharo talk from a ruby conference

by Hilaire Fernandes

We are discussing about the perception by *outsiders* of the used words to describe Pharo. Some commonly well known adjectives help to get the right impulse in the reader mind to know what Pharo is about. When we use obscure or unknown adjectives/descriptions to explain Pharo, we do not bring light or attract newbie as easily as we could.

Re: [Pharo-dev] I love the Pharo 3 Dark Theme

by kilon alios

I agree 100% with you guys and I will add another factor, the GUI at large looks much more modern with the dark theme. The reason being the fact that the GUI uses flat colors, White as flat color is not really that good, because it over-saturates all other colors around it. With the dark theme now all colors stand out and the GUI is not so much in your face, making text stand out more and other gui elements. I don't disagree with a white theme, but you need to have more contrast with other colors to make things more clear. As it is the GUI is very much over-saturated.

I want to join and also say that Dark theme is amazing. Despite the fact that it looks nice, it also does good for my eyes. At work Iâm using apple cinema display (the older one which is LCD), and white colours on it are too intensive for my eyes, but with dark theme everything is cool.
