How to make "extract method" preserve my formatting?
by Pat Maddox July 16, 2010

July 16, 2010

The extract method refactoring works great but always formats my code in a way that I hate. It indents certain things way too much, adds parens where I don't want them, etc. Is there a way for it to preserve my formatting? I wrote the code to be nice and readable to me, and I'd like to keep it that way. Pat

Evaluation of Pharo for Commercial Project
by Runar Jordahl July 14, 2010

July 14, 2010

I am looking at Pharo to evaluate whether it can be used for a mid-size commercial project. The system will use Seaside. I have looked at Pharo 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. I am impressed by the work done so far. Pharo looks and feels a lot better than Squeak, and a lot of enhancements have been done since the project started. There are however a few issues which hold us back from using Pharo, listed (in decreasing importance) below: 1 - Package Management >From what I have seen so far, the concept of âpackages and categoriesâ is confusing. We are used to VisualAge and VisualWorks, which clearly shows the structure of packages in the browsers. In Pharo we cannot find browsers which give us the same overview. We are uncertain how packages are made and how they show up in Monticello. At one point we thought category == package, but that seems not to be correct. We note that method extensions are possible, but we also struggle to understand all aspects of them. I notice that a âPackage management systemâ is in work, so hopefully this area will improve. 2 - Dependency Management between Packages Since we are unable to organize our code in packages, controlling and verifying dependencies between them is hard. But from what I understand, there are not many tools for controlling that packages do not break dependency rules. 3 - Name Space Support I understand name spaces will not be supported any soon. We have a project with thousands of classes, and name space support would be nice to have. 4 - Break Point Support It would be better to have break points, than having to insert code like âself haltâ into the code. Is there any reason to believe Pharo will improve to meet our requirements? Did I misunderstand some aspects of Pharo, or are there tools which can solve what we see as shortcomings? Kind regards Runar Jordahl

New Engineer position for Moose
by StÃ©phane Ducasse July 10, 2010

July 10, 2010

We got a one year engineer position to support the development of a demonstratior for Moose. The ***constraints*** linked with the position are that the person should have got his master in 2009 or 2010. The starting date is 1 of December 2010. The salary should be around 3500 Euros bruto ~> 2300 Euros before taxes (but after health insurance). The job will probably consist in - getting Moose running into a web browser - having a better reporting system. - building a dashboard - porting part of codecity What this of course means is that it's kind of a cool job: work in a research lab, but no paper writing, no teaching, no administration. In addition: -> live in France (one hour from Paris, 1h20 from London, 35 min from Brussels) -> try a lot of good beers (our office is just 10km from the border to Belgium) -> enjoy french food -> code all the day in Smalltalk and a bit of C By september we should decide if we take this year in 2010 or 2011 (for decembre 2011 the person should have got a master in 2010 or 2011). Please send your cv.
