comparison statistics
by Ben Coman Sept. 26, 2016

Sept. 26, 2016

Just bumped into some interesting statistics to consider when the minor worry occasionally arises that Pharo is not more popular. One aspect to measure the liveness and success of a project is the number of developers contributing to it. From the attached png, here are the number of developers for some very popular projects... 57 Apache 40 Ant 92 Python 25 Perl 29 PostgrSQL and from the list of contributors at http://pharo.org/about 91 Pharo Now some care is the comparison since the first group are from 2006 and Pharo is 2016, and maybe the Pharo is an all-of-time list of contributors. But Python's 2016 committers list has 138 names https://hg.python.org/committers.txt and Github shows all-of-time list of contributors of 100 https://github.com/python/cpython/graphs/contributors where you can see from individual graphs that many have not committed for years.. So with caution I think we can take away that while Pharo does not *yet* have the hordes of followers some other languages have, the Pharo project is doing a reasonable job of attracting the interest of contributing developers, which is a key indicator for future success. cheers -ben

AbstractLayout class comment
by Ben Coman Sept. 26, 2016

Sept. 26, 2016

Minor thing... AbstractLayout class comment says... "There are special cases of layouts without slots, like NilLayout or BitsLayout." but I see no NilLayout in the system. Did this become EmptyLayout? cheers -ben

[ANN] FFI Tutorial, Pharo5 / Libclang
by Ben Coman Sept. 25, 2016

Sept. 25, 2016

hi all, Just announcing that I'm writing a series of posts on using FFI in Pharo 5 to interface to libclang, the interface library for the LLVM C compiler. http://blog.openinworld.com/2016/09/pharo-libclang-ffi-part-1-preamble/ I'm writing this from the perspective of a FFI newbie progressively learning the system. I've left in a few mis-steps since I think it can be useful seeing what didn't work. cheers -ben

object pinning versus garbage collection
by Ben Coman Sept. 25, 2016

Sept. 25, 2016

How does object pinning interact with garbage collection? Does it block garbage collection until it is manually unpinned? Or does it garbage collection proceed anyway? Intuitively I'd guess the former?? cheers -ben
