Live coding as experienced in pharo is really superior. It changes everything about how to think about programming. And I am a vi freak lets me tell you.

Contribute your code. And one day you will awake having much better system.

[Pharo-project] Emacs and Smalltalk code

Hi all, I'm using Aquamacs (mac UI for emacs) as my default editor. But I have a problem, when trying to read a .st file, I don't get the syntax highlighting (so all is black-&-white). How I can solve this issue? Cheers.

[Pharo-project] Global session object?
by Igor Stasenko Oct. 8, 2012

Oct. 8, 2012

I wanna have this: SmalltalkImage>>snapshot: save andQuit: quit ... resuming ifTrue: [ session := self newSession ]. ... (where session is additional instance variable of SmalltalkImage). SmalltalkImage>>newSession "Just answer unique object, which never can be identical to any previous session object, this is all what we need for detecting session change. A session object don't needs to carry any state (we have plenty of other objects in image which can do this for us). it just needs to be unique" ^ Object new. SmalltalkImage>>session ^ session then, i can write in own code: Smalltalk session == mySession ifFalse: [ self initForNewSession. mySession := Smalltalk session ] So, basically, this little addition allows you to detect whether session changed or not between two different calls to your code (given that you remembered the previous session somewhere). Currently we don't have such feature, and looking how some existing code deals with session management, i see how it can be simplified. If you want to do something similar today, you will need to register in startup list.. which IMO stinks ;) i don't like using startup lists, since you never know , what is the right order of resource initialization, and what inter-dependencies they may form, and changing dependencies over time will require changing startup order, again and again. Not fun. This technique allows you to lazily re-initialize any of your object(s) due to session change, once the control flow hits your code, but not before. (so you don't have to do all accounting at image startup time, you doing it only when it required/requested, which means shorter image startup time). The notion of session is highly important for external resource management. I using it in NativeBoost from very beginning, and wanna propose to use it globally. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.

[Pharo-project] spec + shortcuts
by Camillo Bruni Oct. 8, 2012

Oct. 8, 2012

I just looked at https://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6736 Everything looks more or less ok, the keymapping integration is nice! I have one doubt though (and I really don't know anything about spec...). How do I explicitly set the default focus when opening an spec UI-item?

[Pharo-project] How do I add Keyboard Shortcuts to the ChangesBrowser?
by Camillo Bruni Oct. 8, 2012

Oct. 8, 2012

How do I do that? I am very lazy, each time I have to move my hand to the mouse I get exhausted... For refactorings we have this nice ChangesBrowser that pops up. I would like to add the following features: - default selection on the first item in the list - up/down changes selection - CMD+s accept the changes - ESC close the window how can I add the link to the keymapping shortcuts within this spec thingy?
