I'm using Aquamacs (mac UI for emacs) as my default editor. But I have a problem, when trying to read a .st file, I don't get the syntax highlighting (so all is black-&-white). How I can solve this issue?
Pharo/Smalltalk is not meant to be coded in Emacs, you have to use Pharo currently (that may change in the future).
For shame, Damien. Why is Smalltalk not meant to be coded in a text editor? It is text, after all. Next thing you'll suggest that one shouldn't use git to store one's code.
Alright, OK, I wrote that with at least 50% troll in the mix. (*) There's no reason why one shouldn't be able to use standard text manipulation techniques to hack on Smalltalk code. We simply never bothered doing so, and I dare say that the majority of people on this list are happy not supporting text-using tools. (*) OK, OK, 75%. frank
If you still want to use Emacs, you will have to install a smalltalk mode. One can be found with gnu-smalltalk. If you are on a Debian-based Linux distribution, install gnu-smalltalk-el.
