Re: [Pharo-dev] [Ann] TaskIt v1.0

by Norbert Hartl

Great, thanks! Does TaskIt include implementations for combining futures such as the ALL and the ANY futures which resolve either when all or one future resolves? From the documentation it looks that rather not.

Feedback is welcome. Yes, it's a lot better for beginners because it actually explains what baselines are and which roles they play, in addition to giving examples. Thanks, Konrad.

[Ann] TaskIt v1.0

by Santiago Bragagnolo

Hi everybody :). I am happy to announce TaskIt v1.0. In this version we add some new features, passed over the red tests and clean up some dead code. And did a pass in the documentation A bit from the DOC Downloading Current stable version of taskit can be downloaded using metacello as follows: Metacello new baseline: 'TaskIt'; repository: 'github://sbragagnolo/taskit'; load. If you want a specific release such as v1.0, you can load the associated tag as follows Metacello new baseline: 'TaskIt'; repository: 'github://sbragagnolo/taskit:v1.0'; load. Otherwise, if you want the latest development version, take a look at the development branchs and load the latest: Metacello new baseline: 'TaskIt'; repository: 'github://sbragagnolo/taskit:dev-1.1'; load. <https://github.com/sbragagnolo/taskit/blob/master/README.md#major-features>Major Features - Actors (ActIt) - Configuration Profiles - Service Check specially the configuration profiles. The default profile usage is #development, which sets up the environment for debugging exceptions in a process. I want to thank a lot to the contributors, Guillermo Polito Max Leske and Daniel Sasu. I want as well to thanks the users, specially to those that bring me feedback (blames and ideas) in person (Esteban, Pablo) or through the different channels (Holger Freyther, Juraj Kubelka, Philippe Back). I want also to apologise the delay of my responses on the issue board :) (Really, sorry). I am constantly using TaskIt in other projects, but much times I cannot do it my priority. thanks a lot, Santiago Bragagnolo.

Now, when I see how you're improving metalinks in this thread, I'd be interested in a higher view (source-level) of the transformations you're doing for implementing metalinks: I think they then could be reused in different contexts (i.e. refactorings, for example), or generalised outside Smalltalk itself. It may probably already been expressed that way, but I haven't looked into the metalink code itself. Thierry > > Marcus

Uncle Bob's package design metrics

by Rafael Luque

Hi, Recently I've reread the chapter about "Package Design Principles" from the Robert C. Martin's "Agile Software Development" book and immediately find myself playing within the reflective and moldable Pharo's environment. I've built an small library DMMetrics that you can find at GitHub: https://github.com/osoco/dm-metrics This is a still very rough and work-in-progress, but I hope to be able to use it in my own projects to get some insights about my package design. Besides my unknowns about Roassal or Renraku, I've also found more conceptual difficulties trying to adapt some metrics as were originally defined by Robert Martin to Pharo's idiosyncrasies. For instance, for measuring the abstraction level of a package, the "Abstractness" metric is defined as Na/Nc; where Na is the number of classes in the package and Nc represents the number of abstract classes in the package. In a language like Java Nc refers to the number of interfaces and classes with at least one abstract method. In Pharo I'm counting the number of classes with methods sending "self subclassResponsibility", but I suspect that this way of measuring is resulting in abstractness values lower than it should be. Maybe I should take into account other Smalltalkish idioms that also contribute to the class abstraction level. Any idea in this way would be of great help. Thank you!

Re: [Pharo-users] Reify RBLiteralNode and RBBlockNode args/return with MetaLink?

by Thierry Goubier

Hi Manuel, would that extend to testing what happens if you add many, many metalinks in a method? I tried to rewrite the automated code tracer I had to use metalinks, and I gave up once I discovered that going over a certain number of metalinks in a method would stop working.

I imagine having example methods which employ all features of the Smalltalk syntax (syntax on a postcard?), for which all intermediate results of expressions are known, then apply MetaLinks in all possible combinations (arguments x control) and check the reifications and side-effects against the oracle. Then the tests would generate a matrix of which combinations work and which don't. This should cover most of the possible executions. > > > > Yes, that would be nice. > > Marcus > >
