Fellows Squeakers, Pharopatas and Cuiseros http://squeakros.org/Cuis3dot2/CuiSantafesino.zip Here you could download the smaller Morphic system. All credit belongs to Juan Vuletich http://www.jvuletich.org/Cuis/Index.html My wish is some day build a more compatible system with current Squeak 4.4 and/or Pharo 1.4 Also start with Spoon and reach the Cuis.image or use Seed / Hazelnut and start from the Â³class repositoryÂ² into http://squeakros.org/Cuis3dot2/ Runs with old Squeak 4.2.5beta1U (I could use my old G4s !!!) or with newer Cog VM (Elliot and Esteban) Edgar

Hi guys you will hear soon about the consortium - We hope to be ready 10 of november. We have been working on several iteration of the consortium agreement and working with lawyers to make sure that it stays simple and that it will bring a value to you and pharo. In addition we worked on the pharo association (coming really soon). Stef

[Pharo-project] RPackage by-hand code
by Goubier Thierry Oct. 19, 2012

Oct. 19, 2012

Hi, I have a problem in Pharo 2.0, among the recent updates, RPackage lost most of the code in one of my packages. Would someone know how to write a small script to force a reload in RPackage of a Smalltalk Category ? The code is still there, in the right system category, but neither Nautilus nor Monticello sees it, and I'm afraid of doing anything like saving the package which would erase most of what is in it. My Pharo version is 20346. Thanks in advance, Thierry -- Thierry Goubier CEA list Laboratoire des Fondations des SystÃ¨mes Temps RÃ©el EmbarquÃ©s 91191 Gif sur Yvette Cedex France Phone/Fax: +33 (0) 1 69 08 32 92 / 83 95

Lars Bak presents several language virtual machines (Self, Strongtalk, Hotspot), why they matter and how they influenced V8 and Dart. http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Performance-V8-Dart I agree when he states "I like Smalltalk" ;)

[Pharo-project] pharo on ipad3 -- tiny image shown only
by Johan Brichau Oct. 18, 2012

Oct. 18, 2012

Hi everyone, After some very friendly help of Nick and Igor at ESUG, I managed to get the iStackVM running on my iPad again, thanks a lot guys! However, the image now shows up on only a very small portion of the screen. Is that a known issue? btw: the problem I experienced to compile the vm correctly was eventually a package-loading problem (i.e. I did not get the correct packages). This is because there is a bug in the version-method generation of Metacello. Together with Dale, we discussed that issue and Dale just solved it last friday. Johan

[Pharo-project] what is your pharo story?
by Torsten Bergmann Oct. 18, 2012

Oct. 18, 2012

Pick one ... STORY 1: ======== What I like most is that I do not rely on IDE vendors or tools to do measure things like: TestCase allSubclasses size inspect things like: Account allInstances collect: [:each | each value > 10 ] or script my environment: TestCase allSubclasses do: [:each | each removeFromSystem ] Try all this in any of the other "static" environments. And yes - one can shoot itself in the foot: true become: false but I like the freedom. STORY 2: ======= In any program environment you have to use a debugger. In Smalltalk you can just save the image and continue the next work day on exactly the same point you left. In other environments you usually close the IDE in the evening and start to debug the program the next day again until you are at this point, have the stack and variables in the same state. Lots of wasted time and developer resources in static world... STORY 3: ======== "Rethinking the typing" as you can see http://astares.blogspot.de/2006/08/rethinking-typing.html STORY 4: ======== When I tell people that Smalltalk is not a language - just a dynamic object system with a language built on top of it. A method, a class ... anything is an object. So if you need additions you just implement them without waiting for the next language spec or vendors. Need traits, interfaces, namespaces, ... just add them. Embed other languages: just add them (see Helvetica) http://astares.blogspot.de/2009/11/helvetia-embedding-languages.html) New control structures? Just implement them. An example: Pascal hat a REPEAT UNTIL. C/C++/Java language family and Smalltalk does not have such a construct. The difference: in Smalltalk I can just add a new method #repeatUntil: to BlockClosure if I really need it. STORY X: ======== ...
