Hi all, I do not remember all the details but most of SqueakNOS has been written in Smalltalk! even some drivers ;-) http://squeaknos.blogspot.ch/ Cheers, #Luc 2014-09-19 21:41 GMT+02:00 kilon alios <kilon.alios(a)gmail.com>: > I seriously doubt that SqueakNOS uses smalltalk to program the drivers > > > On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 10:36 PM, Mayuresh Kathe <mayuresh(a)kathe.in> > wrote: > >> Yes, that's something I would have loved to have, a single language to >> program everything, right from the drivers to user interface and >> applications. >> >> SqueakNOS looks very interesting, but still is way behind a combination >> of Linux kernel + X + Pharo in terms of hardware support and maturity. >> >> Also, in case you didn't know, there was an effort made to run Squeak >> directly on bare metal (Mitsubishi M32R/D) which worked like a charm, but >> has been suppressed for unknown reasons. >> >> ~Mayuresh >> >> >> >> On 2014-09-20 01:00, Torsten Bergmann wrote: >> >>> The idea is to build a minimalist Linux based system which would boot up >>>> straight into a full-screen Pharo environment. >>>> >>> >>> Why use a Linux underneath when you can do it in Smalltalk ;) >>> >>> Look at SqueakNOS - an operating system that was/still is able to >>> boot from disk right into Squeak: >>> >>> http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1762 >>> >>> Accessing devices/writing drivers in Smalltalk, etc. >>> >>> Would like to know if it's some how possible to control external >>>> programs from within Pharo, essentially shell scripts for network setup, >>>> etc. >>>> >>> >>> Check out the "OSProcess" package in Pharo. >>> >>> Bye >>> T. >>> >> >> >

Ubuntu Font License : Compatibility with Pharo License?

by Mayuresh Kathe

Would the Ubuntu Font License at; http://font.ubuntu.com/licence/ be considered compatible with the Pharo license? If it is not _compatible_ would the usage of Ubuntu fonts still be acceptable/permissible within Pharo? Thanks, ~Mayuresh

Nice theme! I am referring to a more deeper treatment than the theme/skin approach. I would prefer to give more thought to every element, it's existence in a particular manner, fonts and their weights, etc. ~Mayuresh On 2014-09-20 00:40, phil(a)highoctane.be wrote: > Try the DawnTheme. > > https://github.com/sebastianconcept/Pharo3DawnTheme [3] > > I've got my own little tweaks of it here:Â > > http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~philippeback/HOExtras/packages/Pharo3DawnTh… > [4] > > Looks like Sublime.

I seriously doubt that SqueakNOS uses smalltalk to program the drivers On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 10:36 PM, Mayuresh Kathe <mayuresh(a)kathe.in> wrote: > Yes, that's something I would have loved to have, a single language to > program everything, right from the drivers to user interface and > applications. > > SqueakNOS looks very interesting, but still is way behind a combination of > Linux kernel + X + Pharo in terms of hardware support and maturity. > > Also, in case you didn't know, there was an effort made to run Squeak > directly on bare metal (Mitsubishi M32R/D) which worked like a charm, but > has been suppressed for unknown reasons. > > ~Mayuresh > > > > On 2014-09-20 01:00, Torsten Bergmann wrote: > >> The idea is to build a minimalist Linux based system which would boot up >>> straight into a full-screen Pharo environment. >>> >> >> Why use a Linux underneath when you can do it in Smalltalk ;) >> >> Look at SqueakNOS - an operating system that was/still is able to >> boot from disk right into Squeak: >> >> http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1762 >> >> Accessing devices/writing drivers in Smalltalk, etc. >> >> Would like to know if it's some how possible to control external >>> programs from within Pharo, essentially shell scripts for network setup, >>> etc. >>> >> >> Check out the "OSProcess" package in Pharo. >> >> Bye >> T. >> > >

After all, design isn't just about how it looks, design is more about how it works (Steve Jobs). ;-) ~Mayuresh

Re: [Pharo-users] Booting into Pharo!

by Mayuresh Kathe

Yes, that's something I would have loved to have, a single language to program everything, right from the drivers to user interface and applications. SqueakNOS looks very interesting, but still is way behind a combination of Linux kernel + X + Pharo in terms of hardware support and maturity. Also, in case you didn't know, there was an effort made to run Squeak directly on bare metal (Mitsubishi M32R/D) which worked like a charm, but has been suppressed for unknown reasons. ~Mayuresh On 2014-09-20 01:00, Torsten Bergmann wrote: >> The idea is to build a minimalist Linux based system which would boot >> up >> straight into a full-screen Pharo environment. > > Why use a Linux underneath when you can do it in Smalltalk ;) > > Look at SqueakNOS - an operating system that was/still is able to > boot from disk right into Squeak: > > http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1762 > > Accessing devices/writing drivers in Smalltalk, etc. > >> Would like to know if it's some how possible to control external >> programs from within Pharo, essentially shell scripts for network >> setup, >> etc. > > Check out the "OSProcess" package in Pharo. > > Bye > T.

No one wants to look like Swing... Also people would then think we do static typing ;) Bye T.
