Re: [Pharo-dev] My New Year present to Pharo

by horrido

If any of you would care to submit artwork to the SRP, I would be most appreciative. In particular, I'm looking for a series of full-page magazine ads that "sell" the idea of smalltalk, and "sell" the benefits of Smalltalk technology to the enterprise. Of course, as public ads, you should endeavour to keep the message simple and on point; you only have a matter of seconds to attract the attention of readers and if your message is too complicated, they will skip it. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/My-New-Year-present-to-Pharo-tp4797728p4797747.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-dev] 64-bit Pharo

We (eliot and esteban/others) are working on a 64 bits VM and plugins. I will then be easier to have 64 and 32 bits than only 64 bits. > I understand that Pharo is currently 32-bit.

64-bit Pharo

by horrido

I understand that Pharo is currently 32-bit. I was wondering whether this was a significant impediment to Smalltalk adoption, esp. in the enterprise. I'm always hearing developers wanting 64-bits in their applications. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/64-bit-Pharo-tp4797744.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Thank you , well I consider myself more an artist and then a coder :) This one took over 100 hours to make in Blender but was a great excuse to learn Blender as I am newcomer to 3d graphics in general.

Very nice! I will use it (credited) in the SRP. You're a better artist than I am. My proposed full-page ad pales by comparison. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/My-New-Year-present-to-Pharo-tp4797728p4797733.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
