Re: [Pharo-users] trimRight: problem

by Henrik Nergaard

'This is a string.' trimRight: [ :c | c = $. ] works fine for me. The trimRight method will return a new string object without the punctuation. If you just do the expression without assigning it into a variable/method call, then it will have no effect because strings are immutable so the original string will remain unchanged. ------------ | myString trimmedString | myString := 'This is a string.' . trimmedString := 'This is a string.' trimRight: [ :c | c = $. ]. 1 assert: (trimmedString last = $.) not; assert: myString ~~ trimmedString; assert: myString last = $. ----------- Other trim options: 'This is a string.' allButLast. 'This is a string.' reject: [ :c | c =$. ]. 'This is a string.' copyReplaceAll: '.' with: ''. '' join: ($. split: 'This is a string.' ). 'This is a string.' onlyLetters. 'This is a string.' withoutPeriodSuffix.

by Dimitris Chloupis

My pleasure yes check them all out because they do a lot of different seminars and meet ups , ours did participate in NASA's SPACE APPS competition and my team managed to get in the top 5 of our category worldwide with a project about mining asteroids with robots using AI. It was very well organized and with free pizza :D A lot of interesting people frequent these places coming from every profession you may imagine united by their love for open source. So they are a hive of knowledge and creativity.

trimRight: problem

I have a string that has an ending period (example - 'This is a string.'). I want to trim the trailing period off of the string. I've tried using: 'This is a string.' trimRight: [ :ea | ea = $. ] But, the period is not trimmed.

>From this link https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Z%C3%BCrich It appears that Zurich has several hackerspaces, in Athens we have one. Generally speaking hackerspaces are places for meeting people , organizing seminars and presentation about any open source project , they offer their services free of charge. I love our own Athens hackerspace, its open 24/7 and there are many Greeks there because they are building the first made in Greece satellite (cube satellite). Also this is the place I presented Pharo , it must have been the very first time Pharo was presented to the Greek IT community. Have you checked out those hackerspaces ?

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo users count / estimate ?

by Esteban A. Maringolo

The SmalltalkHub packages/repositories count is close to useless. You can't even tell which ones are the most used. Once everything is moved to other SCM like GitHub/GitLab they will provide the stats for us. Another story is package artifact management (ala npm), that will the Â¿upcoming? Cargo package manager.

Dimitris, so far, we never actually had an agenda or topic list. It was just getting together and chatting. We started brainstorming on whether we should have all that and make it an even better event with short presentations (show us your project or show us some cool tool you found), but one of the problems was finding a location. In ZÃ¼rich, you don't get anything for free, so that is a hurdle ;-) Any ideas or suggestions are welcome!

On GitHub a search for Pharo returns 497 repos https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=pharo&type=Repositories&ref=sear… and around 850 for Smalltalk in comparison Javascript returns around 176k repos, which means with this result Javascript only has 352 times more repos than pharo.
