Hello,

I want to share that I wrote a blog post on using Unix domain sockets in Pharo.

Cool. We need to integrate this: there is VM support for it and it works with minimal additions. Since UDP sockets are currently also in the same class, I don't see a need for a separate class in the current design.

The NetNameResolver bits can be made more Smalltalk-ish.

Yes, the code is too cryptic/technical, a helper method or two would solve this.

Also, I'll be looking into the minor changes needed to support SocketStream as well.

Can you elaborate on that ?

Maybe this is the wrong list to ask, but how do I contribute this to Pharo?

To add this, I would like some minimal tests as well (to be skipped on windows). Sven

Cheers.
