Error when trying to initiate Pharo in Ubuntu 64 bits
by GABRIEL DEFAGOT April 22, 2014

April 22, 2014

Hi, I downloaded pharo 3.0 for linux. Since I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 64bits, I've installed the ia32-libs as the readme file says, but when I run ./pharo the following error is shown: /pharo3.0/bin/pharo: /lib32/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /pharo3.0/bin/pharo) What's missing? Thanks in advance.

Domaintalk - A Proposed New Project
by Bob Williams April 21, 2014

April 21, 2014

For some time I have been developing the idea of a extension to Smalltalk, which I call Domaintalk. That extension would have "areas" where the language natural to the problem being solved would be used. For example, when solving a numerical problem then mathematical notation would be used or when accessing a relational database SQL would be used. In other words, each of those area would correspond to the language used by "Domain Experts", thus the name domain.The rational behind this is that when you ask a domain expert how to solve a particular problem they will give you the solution in their natural language and you must then convert that into Smalltalk code. Why not just eliminate the last step an let the compiler for the domain produce a compiled method that can be used by the VM--a domain specific would be required in addition to the compiler. There are two reasons for my posting this email: (1) I want to measure the interest of this group in such a project, and (2) I want to know if there is a better place to post a much longer description of the project or should I just break the description into smaller segments and post each under a different subject?

What to use instead of Pen?
by nacho April 19, 2014

April 19, 2014

I've been using the old class Pen with turn: and go: Now that class is no longer part of Pharo 3. I've taken a look at Athens but couldn't really figure out how to do it. What do you suggest to use? Thanks in advance Nacho ----- Nacho Smalltalker apprentice.

[ANN] FontAwesome for Seaside
by Torsten Bergmann April 19, 2014

April 19, 2014

Hi, FontAwesome is (as you may know) an iconic font designed for the user with Twitter Bootstrap. I now created a "FontAwesome for Seaside" project - which is a small Seaside wrapper for the FontAwesome project (using the latest version 4.0.3). This is intended as an addition to the already available "Bootstrap for Seaside" [2] project that I wrote and both should allow you to give your Smalltalk based web application a nice stylish look. The project is located on STHub, see [1] where you will also find the documentation. A live demo can be found on http://pharo.pharocloud.com/fontawesome. To try yourself load it from the Pharo config browser or read the docu to see what is required. Thx T.

RDBMS Atomic Counter?
by Esteban A. Maringolo April 18, 2014

April 18, 2014

Hi, A few weeks ago Sven was asking for a lock-free in-image atomic counter. Today I'm in need of implementing a DB backed (PGSQL) counter for business forms numbering, and maybe there are some toughts you're willing to share :) I can't find any other way than a row lock for each counter, but maybe there is something better (I avoid locks as much as possible). Any thoughts to share here? Regards!
