Woden on Windows?
by Torsten Bergmann Jan. 13, 2015

Jan. 13, 2015

Hi, is woden 3D engine for Pharo working out of the box with Pharo 4 and latest VM on Windows? As OSWindow is already integrated I do not know if the load script still fits. Wanted to ask first. What is required to load? If so can we have a config in the config browser for easy access? Thx T.

Modifying methodDict breaks System Browser
by Atlas Jan. 13, 2015

Jan. 13, 2015

Hi, After replacing the method of a class with an object of a class implementing the /run:with:in/ method, the context menu of the System Browser stops appearing, a debug context menu "Why you see this menu. Debug" pops up instead. After putting the original method back, the browser works again. Code: o := Interceptee new. m := Interceptee methodDict at: #method. Interceptee methodDict at: #method put: Interceptor new. o method. "Breaks context menu?" Interceptee methodDict at: #method put: m. "Browser works again" Is anyone else having this problem? Or am I doing anything wrong? Thanks -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Modifying-methodDict-breaks-System-Browser-tp4799147.… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

PettitParser and Python
by kilon alios Jan. 13, 2015

Jan. 13, 2015

Hello guys I am learning PettitParser , I dowloaded the video tutorials of Tudor Girba (very good tutorial Tudor , well done ) and other documentation and I was wondering if a parser for Python already exists . I hope I am not asking something obvious. For my project I want to parse python types , that will be given to me as strings , to pharo objects. So that means parsing lists, dictionaries and other usual candidates. For example a python list is like '[1, 3, 50, [45, 'hello', 0.2], 63]' etc Anyone already worked on such problem ?

The "death" of Smalltalk
by J.F. Rick Jan. 12, 2015

Jan. 12, 2015

Hi everyone, I just watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX3iRjKj7C0 and had a few comments that I thought I would share. First, there is a real opportunity for Smalltalk to come back in the guise of Pharo. Steph and Marcus are doing a great job providing leadership towards that end and the community is great. Second, we need to be careful in spreading the word. Slowly but surely (the current Pharo approach) is a great approach as it allows really building something worth spreading before trying to get everyone into it. If it spreads too quickly, bad API or immature toolkits will become ingrained and flaws will be apparent. The books, websites, etc. are really good things to get right before trying to get others into it; they are already very good. Third, if you want to really spread Smalltalk, then the fundamentals that newcomers experience need to be without obvious flaws. From personal experience, I can tell you that BitBlt rendering makes newbies think that Pharo is a toy language. Switching to Athens rendering is therefore tremendously important for adoption. Package management really needs to be cleaned up. There needs to be a simple way to merge resources (bitmaps, audio, external files) into the codebase. Simple audio needs to work on all platforms. This may seem trivial but audio is one of the simplest things that newcomers want to do. >From a Linux perspective, this will probably necessitate switching to a 64-bit VM as the 32-bit sound plug-ins are a giant pain. Given that even phone OSs are switching to 64-bit, there may not be a need for a 32-bit Pharo. Of course, much of this is already on the horizon. As the new year begins, I'll once again be coding in Pharo and look forward to it. I'm really hopeful about the future.
