Wanted: Companies using Pharo
by Marcus Denker Aug. 28, 2025

Aug. 28, 2025

We have a list of Pharo Companies at https://pharo.org/Companies A problem of course was that the list got out of date quite quickly. We now have improved it: - there is a form to add a new company - the contact person will get a link to update the infos at any time - the system sends a mail every year to the contact to remind to check if the data is still current - website is rendered directly from the data The current page still has a simple rendering: all companies alphabetically. But with the data we will be able to improve this step by step, so consider adding the info not currently used (e.g. map position, logo...) Future: - nicer page, e.g. with company logos - check links regularly (and send mail in case it is broken) - interactive map For now, the page contains both the new and the old list, with the idea of removing the old entries eventually. (If you are on the ESUG Mailinglist, you might have seen that we did the same for ESUG, for Smalltalk in general. The link to add your company there is https://esug.org/companies.html ) Marcus

UKSTUG Meeting - Gilad Bracha: Online Collaboration for Free - 27 August 2025
by UK Smalltalk Aug. 20, 2025

Aug. 20, 2025

For our August presentation, Newspeak's creator Gilad Bracha ( http://bracha.org/ ) will share some recent developments in Newspeak. All Newspeak ( https://newspeaklanguage.org/ ) applications now support interactive online collaboration out of the box. No programming is required to enable this. We utilize the Croquet system to support this, but use it in a unique way, so that no special programming is required. Instead, we leverage Newspeak's class hierarchy inheritance and platform objects so that all Croquet adaptation is done automatically. This is an interim step toward Newspeak's long-standing goal of orthogonal synchronization. We'll explain what all this means, show how it's done, and speculate on next steps. This will be an online meeting. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/ukstug/events/309017143/ ) to receive the meeting details.
