According to this guy, we're using 3rd most powful programming language (or, well one of 4.. to not insult anyone ;). http://www.paulgraham.com/icad.html So, we're not that bad, eh? :) A very good explanation to 'pointy-haired' why 'mainstream' language are not best choice.. as well as good illustration that in order to compete and stay popular, all mainstream languages will slowly converge to lisp. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.

by NicolÃ¡s Paez March 9, 2012

March 9, 2012

Hi folks, I am collecting information about the languages used to teach Object-Oriented Programming. This is part of an academic research at Fiuba <http://www.fi.uba.ar/> whose results will be published at the University website at not cost. So if you want to collaborate it will take you less than 2 minutes to fill the survey (there are just 5 questions). Here is the link to the survey: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?pli=1&formkey=dHhOMmJnZmZfYmVY… And it would be great if you can forward it to your colleagues. Thanks!

[Pharo-project] ClassBuilder depending -in some way- on text

March 9, 2012

ClassBuilder>>validateClassName: aString "Validate the new class name" | allowed | aString isSymbol ifFalse: [ ^ false ]. allowed := ($0 to: $9), {$_}, ($A to: $Z), ($a to: $z). (aString detect: [:c | (allowed includes: c) not] ifNone: [ ]) ifNotNil: [ :c | self error: 'Invalid character: ''', c printString, ''''. ^ false]. aString first canBeGlobalVarInitial ifFalse:[ self error: 'Class names must be capitalized'. ^false]. environ at: aString ifPresent:[:old| (old isKindOf: Behavior) ifFalse:[ *self notify: aString asText allBold, * ' already exists!\Proceed will store over it.' withCRs]]. ^ true Is it right to do that asText allBold there? :S Shouldn't an exception be raised instead? Do I open a ticket? Guille

[Pharo-project] Adding a statement programmatically
by Sean P. DeNigris March 9, 2012

March 9, 2012

What's the easiest way to add a statement to an existing method? In the case I'm thinking about, it's going at the end, so I can cheat and just recompile with the string appended, but I'd like to know how to insert into an arbitrary place in the AST... Thanks.

[Pharo-project] new CI Job: Project Pharo Kernel Reload Tests-Unix
by Pavel Krivanek March 9, 2012

March 9, 2012

Hi, I created a new Jenkins job named "Project Pharo Kernel Reload Tests-Unix". It is the same job as Pharo 1.4 Tests-Unix but with Pharo Kernel Reload as the base. In ideal case it should have the same set of failing tests as Pharo 1.4 Tests-Unix (zero would be nice ;-)). Currently it has one more failing job: Tests.Release.ReleaseTest.testUndeclared. But I think it is a big achievement in itself :-) Cheers, -- Pavel
