Call for project ideas: Google Summer of Code 2023
by Sebastian Jordan Montano Feb. 3, 2023

Feb. 3, 2023

Hello all, As Pharo community we are postulating to Google Summer of Code 2023. We would like to have new brand ideas for this new edition! We would like to know if there are people in the community that have some cool project ideas :) If you have an idea.s, donât hesitate to share it/them with us. If you have an idea but you donât have the time to be a mentor for it, it is not a problem! We can find other mentors. And if you have an idea and you are willing to be a mentor that would be even better! Being a mentor only requires you to have a weekly 30 min meeting with your student to supervise that the work is going in the desired direction. You will need to provide: a) a project title b) detailed description of the project (2-5 sentences) c) expected outcomes d) skills required/preferred (optional) f) expected size of project medium or large. You can reply to this email or send me another email to my private email address [ mailto:sebastian.jordan@inria.fr | sebastian.jordan(a)inria.fr ] Cheers, Sebastian Jordan on behalf of the Pharo Consortium

Sacrilegeous question : what are compelling use cases for Pharo
by mayuresh＠kathe.in Jan. 26, 2023

Jan. 26, 2023

Hello, This isn't a mail intended to troll this community. I am genuinely curious about what would be the type of use cases which would be exemplary for Pharo? Now-a-days, anything one could have accomplished solely with Smalltalk (and hence Pharo) can be accomplished with a number of modern programming languages and their associated frameworks, e.g. Google's Dart with Flutter, Apple Swift with SwiftUI, Microsoft's C# with WinUI. And such languages and their associated frameworks are built from the ground-up for a particular platform, while Pharo does not have any such targets, which usually renders graphical applications built using Pharo to "look like" aliens. What does stand-out regarding Smalltalk (and hence Pharo) is the superior developer experience furnished as a result of the true object system combined with a full graphical environment. In addition to that, Pharo, specifically, provides advanced tools like Git integration, etc. But, are these things all that there are to be considered enough for highlighting the full inherent power of Pharo? Again, apologies if anyone found the subject line as well as the message body to be troll-ish. That has not been the intent. Kind regards, ~Mayuresh

There is a new edition of Squeak by Example which is now 5.3. Amazon is selling only the old edition from 2011. Can I upload the SBE 5.3 edition PDF to lulu.com and have it printed as a bound book?

Removing Calypso rule critiques
by Sebastian Jordan Montano Jan. 18, 2023

Jan. 18, 2023

Hello everyone, I would like to hide/remove all Calypso rules. I tried in Settings > Code Browsing > Calypso Browser > "Show critiques method" group but it does not work. When you are new in Pharo they are ok because they help you learn Pharo. But after a time they only bother and occupy space. Does anyone know how to make Calypso not show them ? thanks, Sebastian Jordan
