Looking for new adventures
by Koen De Hondt July 12, 2024

July 12, 2024

Dear Pharo Community, As you may have read on my blog <https://all-objects-all-the-time.st/#/blog/posts/1> or heard during my ESUGâ23 presentation, eighteen months ago I entered the Pharo scene after being away from the Smalltalk community for 20 years. For the last one and a half years, I have been a member of a team using Pharo and GemStone. I attended almost all Pharo Sprints in Lille (every last Friday of the month). In this channel, I have informed you about my intention to build a new browser based on Spec. That development has been on the back burner for the last five months because I have been working hard with StÃ©phane Ducasse to finish the book âApplication Building with Spec 2.0â. I have presented at ESUGâ23, and I am sad that I could not attend ESUGâ24 this week. >From the above, my contribution to the Pharo community is clear, and I think my drive to contribute more is also clear. In a few months, I will leave the team I am working with now. Therefore, I am looking for new adventures. If you are looking for a seasoned software developer who likes working in Smalltalk/Pharo very much, please send me a message, and I will be in touch rapidly. Please find more details on my career history on LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/koendehondt/>. Best regards, Koen

Help with PetitParser2 rules
by Rafael Luque July 7, 2024

July 7, 2024

Hi all, I'm struggling with a small parser using PetitParser2. Here is a fragment of some of the rules I'm defining but their behaviour is not as I could expect: andKeyword := 'and' asPParser trim, #letter asPParser not. notKeyword := 'not' asPParser trim, #letter asPParser not. keyword := andKeyword / notKeyword. nonKeywordIdentifier := keyword not, #letter asPParser, #word asPParser star. word := nonKeywordIdentifier, #blank asPParser star. words := word star. The behaviour of the "nonKeywordIdentifier" is the expected: identifier end parse: 'hello'. "It parses successfully" identifier end parse: 'and'. "It fails as 'and' is a keyword" However the "words" rule's behavior is the following: words end parse: 'hello Pharo'. "It parses successfully" words end parse: 'hello and bye'. "It parses, when I would expect it fails because of 'and' is a keyword" I don't understand why the "words" rule works this way, but I'm starting with PetitParser. Any suggestions? Thank you.
