by Aik-Siong Koh June 29, 2025

There are two questions, but only response accepted. I just want a pull up with nothing extra done. If I click yes, I get the extra methods. If I click no, nothing at all happens. Please advise, Thanks, Aik-Siong Koh

Does not understand message inconsistency
by Aik-Siong Koh June 28, 2025

June 28, 2025

Why is UndefinedObject version of "did not understand" so different from others? It also inverts the object message paradigm. Thanks Aik-Siong Koh description Â Â Â "Returns a textual description of the exception (based on the message instance variable). If message is nil, it returns the defaultDescription instead." Â Â Â message ifNil: [ ^ self defaultDescription ]. Â Â Â message lookupClass == UndefinedObject ifTrue: [ Â Â Â Â Â Â ^ message selector printString , ' was sent to nil' ]. Â Â Â ^ 'Instance of ' , message lookupClass printString Â Â Â Â , ' did not understand ' , message selector printString

Variable references, readers, writers
by Aik-Siong Koh June 28, 2025

June 28, 2025

A variable can have references. Those references can be split into readers and writers of the variable. Can Pharo list readers and writers separately? Thanks, Aik-Siong Koh

Pharo Paper Collection: Papers wanted!
by Marcus Denker June 20, 2025

June 20, 2025

Hello, As you might know, we have started to collect all papers / books that are related to Pharo. This is on HAL (https://hal.science) an international repository for open science that is used by the french science community (e.g. Inria and CNRS). The platform is open to anyone and after some years of iteration, it starts to be really quite nice. "HAL is a multidisciplinary open archive for the sharing of published and unpublished research. It is at the service of researchers in academic institutions, both public and private. In France, HAL is the national archive chosen by the scientific and academic community for the open dissemination of its research results. The repository is also at the service of researchers affiliated to foreign academic institutions, whether public or private.â More infos here: https://about.hal.science/en/ The Pharo collection on HAL now contains over 200 entries. The collection includes papers/books that are either about Pharo or use it in some way. https://hal.science/PHARO The HAL Monitor provides some more stats: https://monitor.hal.science/?collection=PHARO Of course, there are only those papers in the archive that the orginal authors added (and tagged for the Pharo Collection). To check if your paper is there, the easiest is to check the authors: https://inria.hal.science/PHARO/browse/author How do I add my papers? ===================== The HAL platform is open to everyone. https://hal.science - create an account - start submission by clicking submit. You are asked for all information / the PDF of your paper. - In the META Data: add âPHAROâ in the field âCollaboration/Projectâ. After the paper is validated, it will show up in the PHARO collection around one day later. If your paper is already in HAL: just modify the meta data and add âPHAROâ in the field âCollaboration/Projectâ
