[Pharo-project] New Change System
by Torsten Bergmann Nov. 27, 2012

Nov. 27, 2012

Nice! You should disable the "undo" menu on evaluted expressions since they can not be undone. UI need some work (alignment, splitter size, ...) Will it support grouping similar to "Tools" -> "Recent Messages" so I can see changes I did on a method, class, ...? Thanks T.

[Pharo-project] Running the full Pharo 1.4 Test Suite on the Raspberry Pi
by Sven Van Caekenberghe Nov. 26, 2012

Nov. 26, 2012

Hi, Although it took a very long time (the non-Cog vm on the ARM is more than a full factor 10 slower than any MacBook), I am happy to report that the stock vm on the Raspberry Pi was capable of running the full Pharo 1.4 Test Suite, with the following result: 8547 run, 8483 passes, 53 expected failures, 5 failures, 6 errors, 0 unexpected passes Failures: ZnMagicCookieTests>>#testFromString ZnMagicCookieJarTests>>#testCookiesForUrl ZnMagicCookieJarTests>>#testCookieAtForUrl SharedQueue2Test>>#testCounting ZnMagicCookieJarTests>>#testAdd Errors: CompiledMethodTest>>#testPerformInSuperclassCanExecutelongMethodWithTemps CodeSimulationTests>>#testGettingSourceFromFile CodeSimulationTests>>#testTranscriptPrinting CodeSimulationTests>>#testTranscriptPrintingWithOpenedTranscriptExists MessageTallyTest>>#testClosedTally MessageTallyTest>>#testTallySends The Zn tests were actually already fixed, so updating Zn made them go away. I am afraid that running 2.0 is blocked on FileSystem requirements being to much for this older VM. Since FileSystem is also used in the startup sequence, we won't get very far. Camillo ?

Re: [Pharo-project] Athens OpenGL backend - what does it mean?

Ephestos as a project is not new . It started as blender addon details can be found here -->Â http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?250375-A-Visual-Programming-… Because the thread is kinda huge to sum it up what I and another blender developer did was to take morphic for python ( http://www.chirp.scratchr.org/blog/?p=30 ) which was written for python 2 and pygame and port it to python 3 , bgl (its a thin wrapper for opengl 1 blender library ) and as a blender addon. 240 commits later we had a morphic interface for blender written in python and ported to bgl so it could run from inside the blender window. Suprisingly we did not have so much problem with out own bugs but bgl proven too slow , buggy and unreliable so I had to abandon because I could only solve that problem with hacking blender source which is written in C and is almost not commented at all. Lets say here I am no big fan of C language of Blender source.Â Here you can find if you are interested the final blender python code ---> https://github.com/kilon/EphestosOld >From there on I was just searching for a home for Ephestos. I has quite reluctant to join pharo because of the lack of developers and because I am not that familiar with smalltalk as much I am with python. To be frank I am not that motivated to join a language that is has a very small community because of bug fixes and library support. I actually even looked into common lisp and emacs very recently as well since I really like lisp as a language and I prefer from smalltalk. But it has become obvious to me that what I am trying to do for Ephestos is synonymous to what smalltalk is trying to do, to offer a live visual environment that makes code , fun , flexible and efficient. So I decided to take the deep dive into pharo. Smalltalk may not be super popular as python but porting all smalltalk stuff or even just little to python is just insane amount of work so I think I made the sensible choice to port my project to Pharo because it was already based on pharo libraries anyway. Saying that I am still interested in offering some Blender support for Ephestos and thus making pharo able to quickly communicate with blender probably via a socket bridge. I got all these crazy ideas but I am willing to take them a step at a time , so that is why I talked about "decades". ________________________________ From: Sebastian Nozzi <sebnozzi(a)gmail.com> To: dimitris chloupis <thekilon(a)yahoo.co.uk> Cc: "Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr" <Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr> Sent: Sunday, 25 November 2012, 20:43 Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Athens OpenGL backend - what does it mean? Wow!!! You have no idea how incredible I found to be reading something like this: "I am willing to invest years and if all goes well even decades of efforts since its an area that I love to code for". It definitely made my day! :-) Especially the last part, that you really *love* to code in this area (something I cannot but admire). I always found the Squeak/Pharo environment so cool to code in, the "aliveness" of the image, but also had the feeling that the graphics system was a little outdated. Unfortunately being unable to do something about it, first because I have no expertise in the area, and second, because... well... I guess I'm lazy and not patient/talented enough for graphics programming ;-). It is therefor great that Igor and now you showed up, able to improve in this area, and also willing :-) To sum it up: I always thought that open-source Smalltalk should *look* as great from the "outside" as it is cool on the "inside" (the semantics). It simply deserves no less. So I am really grateful for any effort put in this. Pharo already looks great, much has been archived, and I can't wait to see what you guys will come up with next...

[Pharo-project] dumpfs - inspecting floating point numbers
by Sven Van Caekenberghe Nov. 26, 2012

Nov. 26, 2012

Hi, I just came across this: http://blog.reverberate.org/2012/11/dumpfp-tool-to-inspect-floating-point.h… and I think it would be very cool to have something like that for Smalltalk, as a standard, builtin feature. It would fit the Smalltalk philosphy of understandability very well. Nicolas ? ;-) Sven -- Sven Van Caekenberghe http://stfx.eu Smalltalk is the Red Pill

[Pharo-project] Tests coverage of basic packages
by Pavel Krivanek Nov. 26, 2012

Nov. 26, 2012

Hi, I created a Jenkins job [1] that tries to measure tests coverage of Pharo Kernel. So if you want to see how good are we in this area for basic Pharo packages, see the latest report [2]. It is measured only by code simulation so the results are not perfect and complete but for basic information it may be sufficient. Of course take it as a small incentive to improve credibility of our image :-) [1] https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/view/Pharo%20Kernel%202.0/job/Pharo%20Kernel%202.… [2] https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/view/Pharo%20Kernel%202.0/job/Pharo%20Kernel%202.… Cheers, -- Pavel
