Hi,

As input for designing new features that better support scripting in Pharo, we would benefit from a bit more input around the role scripts play in your development life.��

To this end, I would like to invite you to share your scripting experience. Here are some questions to start from, but feel free to diverge:

- What kind of actions do you put in scripts?

Temporary workflows.

��

- Do you rely on script files stored on the disk at all?

Sometimes yes.

��

- Where do you store your scripts (in one folder, in many folders)?

I use the ScriptManager to store my scripts.

When using files I store them in many folders (per image/project)

��

- Do you version your scripts?

Yes

��

- Do you store them in separate files with dedicated names, or tend to put multiple snippets in one larger file?

- I mostly rely in ScriptManager for this but sometimes I put one script per tab in Notepad++ (Notepad++ doesn't force to write a name and doesn't remove tabs if you don't save).

- If multiple snippets are located in one file then I loose syntax highlighting.

��

- Do you rely on the names of the scripts?

Yes, to identify the script task. But never to import/require by name.

��

- Why do you use a script file and not a class?

Because conceptually are different. A class represents a conceptual evolution of what could be initially a script.
And because we do not have yet a Workflow system like Galaxy or myExperiment :)

Cheers,

Hern��n

Cheers,
Doru
