yes that might be interesting.

Local community in south-west of France ?

by CÃ©drick BÃ©ler

Hi all, I just wanders if there are pharoers, or more generally smalltalkers located in the south west of France ? If yes, Iâd like to meet from time to time to hack some stuffs or just discuss around a beer. Meeting every 2 or 3 months could be nice. The area is quite large (from toulouse to Pau, Biarritz up to Mont-de-Marsan, eventually Bordeaux and also Spain border). I live between Tarbes and Saint-Gaudens. I work in a mechanical engineering school and there, I try to push Pharo and get some students into it (not easy as they are not computer scientists). In Pau UPPA (University), there are computer science students, but I donât know them really. Cheers, CÃ©drick

Re: [Pharo-users] Timespan translateToUTC problematic

by Peter UhnÃ¡k

I find the concept of translating TZ of a Date silly. The real bug imho should be that it prints both time and TZ.... this is Date, not DateAndTime.

Re: [Pharo-users] Binary (external) objects

by Hans N Beck

Hi, thx for the hints :) But to be sure that we are talking about the same: the Foreign Mock-up Interface and FMU works like this: you have an SDK generating an interface description (the FMI) and an d some kind of binary object (the FMU). Any simulation tool supporting this standard can do reflection by looking at the FMI and then call on binary level the appropriate Methods in the FMU. It is all based on ANSI C. The Pharo FFI approaches perform their reflection from the header files, right ? The advantage is that you have nothing to do on the application side.

For example, there may be objects written in C, in Golang, Lisp... you could load the objects into to image, you would see their methods as all other Smalltalk Code, with the difference that you could not see the implementation or do Smalltalk level debugging.
