i18n&l10n & Unicode support in Pharo
by Gour Aug. 18, 2016

Aug. 18, 2016

Hello, just starting with Pharo and I'm thinking about i18n/l10n capabilities within environment to make one's app read for several langauges. I've found out I18n (http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/I18N) project but it seems there are no new contrubutions in last 2 years. I've also discovered 'Unicode project' thread on dev-list, but would like to get some pointer about the current (5.0 <= Pharo < 6) state of affairs in regard writing multi-language-capable and Unicode-aware apps in Pharo? Sincerely, Gour -- Thus the wise living entity's pure consciousness becomes covered by his eternal enemy in the form of lust, which is never satisfied and which burns like fire.

Generating custom classes based on attributes from XML Document
by Peter UhnÃ¡k Aug. 17, 2016

Aug. 17, 2016

I have a XML like this <packagedElement xmi:type="uml:Class" xmi:id="EAID_4A" name="DCEdge" isAbstract="true">  </packagedElement> <packagedElement xmi:type="uml:Association" xmi:id="EAID_46">  </packagedElement> and I would like to generate UmlClass and UmlAssociation classes for this. I could use XMLPluggableElementFactory, however that only allows me to specify the target class only on the element's name, such as doc := (XMLDOMParser on: someXML) nodeFactory: (XMLPluggableElementFactory new elementClass: GenericElement; handleElement: 'packagedElement' withClass: UmlPackagedElement) parseDocument. However I need better granularity, because I would like to have a different class for 'packagedElement[xmi:type="uml:Class"]' and different class for 'packagedElement[xmi:type="uml:Association"]'. Of course I could use double visitors (so use the Pluggable stuff to get UmlPackagedElement) and then make another pass on it to get the final classes, however I would prefer to have to wanted class directly without the need to go through intermediate representation. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Peter

MOOC for English learners
by Gour Aug. 17, 2016

Aug. 17, 2016

Hello, after being interested in Pharo some months ago, in the meantime I was exploring some alternatives like Racket and Red (open-sources successor of Rebol) both of which can be suitable for writing multi-platform desktop GUI apps...but now want to spend some more time exploring Pharo and I'm glad to see existance of MOOC course, but wonder if all the videos are planned to be annotated with English subtitles making the whole course suitable for non-French self-learners? Sincerely, Gour -- Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.

ProcessAlreadyTerminating on image startup
by Esteban A. Maringolo Aug. 17, 2016

Aug. 17, 2016

For some reason I can't understand, I fell again into one of those infinite loops of MessageNotUnderstood exceptions that usually take the system down. But this time I was able to interrupt it by pressing Alt+., and then I closed all the debuggers and opened windows. Trustworthy (aka stupid) as I can be, I saved the image, but then every time I tried to debug some test case, only one frame on the debugger was visible, and any attempt to evaluate something within it lead me to another infinite MNU wormhole. Now when I start the image I get a ProcessAlreadyTerminating walkback, without much to do (see http://i.imgur.com/fxo17pN.png) But I'm still unable to debug any method using the Glamourous Debugger. I can if I disable it. I don't know whether the Glamourous debugger and the process thing are related, but I'm sharing this just in case somebody has an idea on how to fix the walkback and the GTD. Regards! Esteban A. Maringolo

64bit support
by Gour Aug. 16, 2016

Aug. 16, 2016

Hello, I'm still waiting for my Slack account to become re-created, so asking here...how far is 64bit version of Pharo? Sincerely, Gour -- A person is considered still further advanced when he regards honest well-wishers, affectionate benefactors, the neutral, mediators, the envious, friends and enemies, the pious and the sinners all with an equal mind.
