GSoC idea: a code generation model for smalltalk

by Nicolas Anquetil

hello, this paper : "An Empirical Comparison of Pre-Trained Models of Source Code" https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.04026.pdf studied "19 recently-developed pre-trained models of source code" I am a complete noob in this domain, but wouldn't it be possible to use one of these to train it on smalltalk code and get an advanced code completion tool from that ? nicolas

[Help needed] Please check your old issue tracker entries!

by Marcus Denker

Hi, We waste a lot of time with - turning prose descriptions of fixes into code - trying to fix bugs that are already fixed - trying to understand issues that have just not enough infos One thing that would help: If everyone would regularly check their old issue tracker entries. I think what happens is that when bugs get fixed, everyone assumes that of course the issue gets closed, too But that is not happening due to multiple reasons: - Duplicated entries. The *other one* was closed, but not yours - Fixes happening e.g. due to code rewrites The easiest is to use the created_by feature: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/issues/created_by/MarcusDenker - check if the issue is still relevant - has it been fixed? - is the description understandable? - if it has a suggestion of a fix, do a PR. (it is much harder to turn prose into code than you would think!) Marcus
