[Pharo-project] Need your point of view on FSPath * and others
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Feb. 20, 2011

Feb. 20, 2011

Colin I'm continuing adding comments to FS. 1- A question about FSPath class>>* aString ^ self with: aString I would like to deprecated FSPath class>>* and use with: since this is the message and What do you think? I really prefer for static analysis point of view not to pollute numerical behavior with others. Avoiding ad-hoc polymorphism will help us to build static checker in the future. 2- Then I was wondering if it would not be good to have validating creation methods (FSPath * 'parent/child/') isRelative true (FSPath * '/parent/child/') isAbsolute false because the string is not checked FSPath * '/parejhkjhhg %% ^%$%^(%$546547675 nt??child/' I saw that there is readFrom: aStream delimiter: aCharacter so I created an unchecking instance creation category and I added with: and * in it. And added comments 3- Then finally the following confuses me (FSPath with: 'parent/child/') isRelative true (FSPath with: '/parent/child/') isRelative true (FSPath with: '') isRelative false Either with: create relative path or isRelative is not consistent. If with: creates relative path then the last one should be true or isRelative should return false on the second one. ? 4 - about FSPath root we have root "Return the relative root path" ^ self with: '' FSPath root returns / and I like that Now what about defining root as root ^ self with: '/' It would be more consistent. Now it breaks everything. So I did not do it :) May be I'm tired after 4 ours teaching and 6 hours train. Thanks for your time Stef

Re: [Pharo-project] [Pharo-users] Call for Pharo Support **important**

Hi davorin It says that you would consider paying a membership if this one is ok for you but that the membership would have to be clear. So this is just a letter of support. Your are not tying yourself. We will decide together the model because we should like that everybody can contribute. Now for us this is an important tool because we can seize the community to see if we could collect money to pay an engineer like igor full-time, half time....

https://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/hirschfeld/trac/SqueakCommunityProjects/wiki… It really looks very professional. I made a user interface builder for Polymorph, which I left because I was too complicated for me. I hope that now someone more knowledgeable can really necessary to implement a tool for Squeak / Pharo as a visual designer user interfaces.

Hi-- If you can transfer compiled methods directly, then you can make the entire compiler an optional module... As the Americans are fond of saying, "just sayin'". :) -C -- Craig Latta www.netjam.org/resume +31 06 2757 7177 + 1 415 287 3547

Please distribute this message around Dear Pharoers We are pursuing an effort to bring Pharo to the next level: we will set up a consortium of pharo users and industrial partners. Our goal is to build a legal infrastructure that will be able to sustain the development of Pharo and improve its future. As an example, we would like to be able to collect funds (ways as to be determined - we foresee a membership model or moral license) to pay engineering tasks to be performed such as improving the virtual machine, network libraries, better JIT support. To make it short we would like to give a chance to our community to grow and structure itself so that Pharo can get stronger and that risk (truck factor) gets minimized. We are contacting you to know if your company/research group would be interested to support such effort. Showing such interest is strategically important for us and INRIA which could also support such effort. Attached is the letter of support that we will collect once signed and scanned ( stephane.ducasse(a)inria.fr / faxed at: 00 33 (0)3 59 57 78 50) Thanks for your support The Pharo Board M. Denker, S. Ducasse, and A. Lienhard
