Alain wrote <<< Hi Andy, If I understand your question, you want to remake Dan Ingall's lively kernel ? >>> Hi Alain, Although I am really impressed with Dan's work, Emscripten seems to be very different. In theory - and my knowledge in this is very limited - it might allow the VM C files to be transpiled into a very tight subset of JS. On the face of it, this is a crazy idea, but they have achieved amazing performance with things like the QT library. This made me wonder whether a Js version of pharo is possible.

Has anyone tried compiling the Pharo VM into JS using Emscripten?
by Andy Burnett Nov. 15, 2014

Nov. 15, 2014

I just saw this implementation of SQLite as a JS system, via Emscripten, and I was curious whether something similar would be even vaguely possible for the VM. Cheers Andy á§

Problems with Roassal2 & Pharo 3.0
by volkert＠nivoba.de Nov. 15, 2014

Nov. 15, 2014

Started today with a fresh download of Pharo 3.0 and installed Roassal2 from the Configbrowser. Looks like Roassal now depends on the GTToolkit and other things, which are not correctly handled in the Config. What is missing here? What packages should be loaded? It is a bit disappointing how unstable/fragile the things are .... i see that you want make progress, but it is really hard to follow the development when not a "hardcore&fulltime" User .... Volkert

Ploting all history of the commits in a Monticello repository
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas Nov. 14, 2014

Nov. 14, 2014

Hi, I don't know if the terminology is the proper one. Anyway I'm trying to plot a "time line" of the history of a project which is stored on [1] and [2] (after rebranding) and also of the commits to documentation on [3] using Pharo/Roassal. [1] http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Offray/Ubakye/ [2] http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Offray/Grafoscopio/ [3] http://mutabit.com/deltas/repos.fossil/grafoscopio/timeline?n=200 Given I don't know any API of the sites, I thought it would be easier by scraping the data on the web pages and the using it into Roassal, but after testing some solutions on python, I came back to pharo to see if I can made everything on it, including the data collection. For [1] and [2] I think that is possible to send a message to Monticello to show all commits of a specific package (like it actually does from the UI) and export them with the information about date of commit for all commits. For [3] I'm thinking in using some combination of Zinc with Soup[4] despite of the lack of tutorials. [4] http://www.squeaksource.com/@Y-xGMSBYZmiWQToh/GJDsBRqL So here are my questions: - There is any way to say to Monticello to export all commits dates and times for a specific package? - There is any advised scraping strategy for getting the same information from the web page at [3]? The plot I would like to do is similar to the one of the ebola example at [5], but using high as number of commits and x axis as dates.

Metacello configuration based on subdirectory of Git repo
by Rafael Luque Nov. 13, 2014

Nov. 13, 2014

Hi all, I'm starting with Pharo and playing with the ways to integrate it with Git. I've read the "Git and Pharo" chapter on "Enterprise Pharo" book by Thierry Goubier and loaded the GitFileTree package. I'm working on a project with several microservices, one of them will be based on Pharo and the other ones in other technologies. The project repository is based in our own Git server and each microservice maps with one subdirectory in the repo. My question is if it is possible to define a Metacello configuration to load my packages from an specific subdirectory of a Git repository. I have tried with the following baseline method, but it fails because does not understand repoPath: baseline01: spec <version: '0.1-baseline'> spec for: #common do: [ spec blessing: #baseline. spec repository: 'git@my-git-server:my-project'. spec repoPath: 'my-pharo-subdirectory'. spec package: 'MyPackage'. . . . ] Thank you in advance.

Error when compiling a string with a quote
by Hilaire Nov. 13, 2014

Nov. 13, 2014

Hello, I get an error (see screenshot) when I compile at runtime a method where a quote is found in its body. I expect this compiled method: description ^ 'n''a pas sa force' The user inputs part of this method as: n'a pas sa force In its string representation, it is displayed as: n''a pas sa force with the quote correctly escaped. But compiling fail. I use this code to compile at runtime: stream := WriteStream on: String new. stream << 'description' << Character cr << Character tab << $^ <<$' << dialog description string << $'. scriptClass class compile: stream contents classified: 'public'. -- Dr. Geo - http://drgeo.eu iStoa - http://istoa.drgeo.eu

Pharo how to get carect symbol
by Rafael Luque Nov. 13, 2014

Nov. 13, 2014

Hi all, I don't know how to get the caret (^) symbol inside Pharo in my Linux laptop. The usual combination of keys that work for me in other applications like browser, emacs or terminal does not work inside Pharo. This is the VM version output: M: NBCoInterpreter NativeBoost-CogPlugin-GuillermoPolito.19 uuid: acc98e51-2fba-4841-a965-2975997bba66 May 15 2014 NBCogit NativeBoost-CogPlugin-GuillermoPolito.19 uuid: acc98e51-2fba-4841-a965-2975997bba66 May 15 2014 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm.git Commit: ed4a4f59208968a21d82fd2406f75c2c4de558b2 Date: 2014-05-15 18:23:04 +0200 By: Esteban Lorenzano <estebanlm(a)gmail.com> Jenkins build #14826 I'm trying with the following images: * 4.0 #40360 * 3.0 #30860 Thank you.

Glamour stream presentations
by Evan Donahue Nov. 12, 2014

Nov. 12, 2014

Hello, I was just wondering if it was possible to use list/table presentations (or an analogous presentation) in Glamour to display streams that load on demand as you page through them (rather than loading all entries into memory before displaying the first page). If not, does anyone have any tips on the best way to go about creating one? Thanks, Evan
