Re: [Pharo-dev] Explaining Spec2 and why Bloc is on the roadmap

by Tudor Girba

Hi, Thanks for the mail. Iâd like to add a few remarks from the perspective of the team that currently develops Bloc/Brick. We are quite happy to see that Bloc/Brick starts to be considered a target platform. Bloc was started by Alain Plantec and StÃ©phane Ducasse. Glenn Cavarle was an important contributor at some point, too. At feenk, we got involved about 3+ years ago and since then we invested significantly in it and we are planning to continue to do so. In this process, the code was rewritten several times. We are developing Bloc/Brick in the context of Glamorous Toolkit (GT). The latest code (including reproducible releases) is here: https://github.com/feenkcom/Bloc https://github.com/feenkcom/Brick While we could say that GT is only one user, the requirements that come from GT are broader than that of a typical application. For example, this led us to build an editor with rather unique abilities. Also, Bloc has the property of being able to accommodate both visualizations and typical widgets within the same scene and this allows us to compose new kinds of interfaces. GT is still in alpha and things will still evolve in the coming months, and Bloc/Brick will change as well. However, we can consider Bloc quite stable and we find that we can operate significant changes without affecting users. For example, recently, we added a complete new support for native windows (we replaced SDL2 with Glutin) and made it work on all platforms without impact the users: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/1124544911716515840 Brick already has a list of widgets that are usable. If you want to see it in practice, just open a Glamorous Toolkit image. Brick will go through more changes in the following period mostly due to the introduction on theming support and user-specific preferences. Nevertheless, we would be happy to see the code exercised from a different perspective than the one we have. So, if people want to play with it, we would be happy to support and provide feedback.

Visit Tokyo from 27 June to 5 of July

by ducasse

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 StÃ©phane Ducasse

Hi Eric I do not really know and let esteban answer. In GTK3 the themes are based on CSS. Now for Morphic we still do it the old way. Now in P8 we started to clean the themes but if you want to help you are welcomed because our plates are quite full.

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? > > On Thu, May 2, 2019 at 11:45 AM Alexandre Bergel via Pharo-users <pharo-users(a)lists.pharo.org <mailto:pharo-users@lists.pharo.org>> wrote: > Hi Stef, > > Thanks for this email.
