Dear Pharoers/Smalltalkers from Japan (and other countries) I will visit (mainly) Tokyo from 27 of June to 5th of July 2019. I will give several talks and one is scheduled to the Smalltalk User group (Oda Tomohiro is organising it). I will give some talks to researchers and companies. Iâm really excited to meet people. Do not hesitate to contact me so that we can plan extra meetings. I really want to see what you are doing and how to support the community. Stef

Re: [Pharo-dev] [Pharo-users] Explaining Spec2 and why Bloc is on the roadmap
by Eric Gade May 3, 2019

May 3, 2019

Stef, Exciting news all around. Is this s good opportunity to revisit theming? I made a good attempt to wrap my head around themes about a year ago or so, but it's quite complex. If now's not (understandably) the time, how will themes work with this new multiple-backend approach?
