Re: [Pharo-users] [COTDC] 88 - TextConstants

by Benjamin

Hahaha I knew that one day or another one of my class will end up here :) So: TextConstants is a shared pool which gather constants used by class which handle text manipulations. It also contained a dictionary to share some constants trough the system ( it was part of the use of TextConstants when it was a Dictionary ) On Dec 2, 2011, at 3:58 PM, DeNigris Sean wrote: > Continuing in Collections... > > Today: TextConstants > > > Comment Of The Day Contest - One Day One Comment > Rules: > #1: Each day a not commented class is elected.

I'm writing an acceptance test for my app. At some point, it's supposed to show a context menu, so I'm doing "World submorphs detect: [ :m | m isKindOf: MenuMorph ]", but it occurred to me that there may be some notification...

Re: [Pharo-users] portable smalltalk, how ?

by Igor Stasenko

My 2 cents. It depends, what sense you put into portability. SqueakNOS can run on any intel-based architecture. But you don't have OS and need to implement all low-level stuff by yourself. No matter what software, I think you can claim that it is portable only to certain degree. To my opinion, it is better to have software which runs perfectly on some concrete platform, rather than have buggy/incomplete and with limited feature set (because of minimum common denominator) software which runs everywhere. Apple's success with IOS platform is a good showcase for that. An opposite example is web "platform". Despite the great progress in last decade, it is still far behind from desktop-based software in terms of responsiveness, speed and resource usage. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.

Janko, I have not looked it in more depth for quite some time, but where is the best place to look to learn the API that Sport provides? (especially for someone who does not have in depth knowledge and access to VW api)? Thanks! Davorin Rusevljan http://www.cloud208.com/

S, Lukas Renggli piÅ¡e: > Sport provides platform independence for files, sockets and > exceptions. When we evaluated Sport for Seaside it only worked on VW > and sockets were at the wrong abstraction level. Also to consider is > that exceptions are pretty portable today. Sockets on wrong abstraction level? Which abstraction level is then a right one? Only questionable thing is that Sport API is influenced strongly on VisualWorks. But this is hard characterize simply as wrong. In any case, Sport is so far most successful attempt to make portable Times, Files, and Sockets. Specially last two are very different from dialects and Sport enables easy portability of projects like Swazoo web server and Aida web framework. When Sport is ported to some dialect, all other projects based on Sport became portable there almost instantly. Another reason is also that both Swazoo and Aida are written with portability in mind by avoiding non-portable dialect features and libraries and therefore don't need Grease for that, just Sport. Remaining dialect dependencies are marked simply by method comment, like "VW specific". End result is very simple code, yet maintainable and portable. Sport is supported on GNU Smalltalk, VA Smalltalk, Squeak/Pharo, VisualWorks/ObjectStudio, Dolphin Smalltalk. News from this year ESUG Edinburg: Sport will become MIT licensed, now is namely GPL. I therefore invite specially network/web guys to write more portable code using Sport and therefore spread your work around all Smalltalks.
