Feb. 2, 2020

I am not sure how much is going to be of benefit of the community. I hope a lot :). But I'am happy to let you know that we had a really nice stand, with a lot of small things. A lot of power users passing by interested in pharo :). If you don't follow Pablo in twitter you should! he shared some nice photos on it. Still i am going to share the photos we took in here and pharo.org during the week. I want to thanks a lot to all the people that shared videos, times and advice. And also ofc to Steph to support us on this and of course to Pablo, Angela and Caro, whom spend the weekend rushing after all this. I hope we can repeat this epic quest :) Santiago

Extending a Class by adding an Instance Variable
by Sean P. DeNigris Feb. 2, 2020

Feb. 2, 2020

SmalltalkVimMode adds an instance variable to RubSmalltalkEditor so it can track whether it is in normal/insert mode, etc. Currently, the inst var is undeclared when the project is loaded and one has to manually edit the class def to add it. Is there an elegant way to handle this? I can't think of a way that isn't awkward, dirtying packages, or leaving zombie objects around when editors close... ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Developers-f1294837.html
