The successor of Ni is 'Spry' https://github.com/gokr/spry http://sprylang.se/ "Spry borrows homoiconicity from Rebol and Lisp, free form syntax from Forth and Rebol, the word of different types from Rebol, good data structure literal support from JavaScript and the general coding experience and style from Smalltalk. It also has a few ideas of its own, like an interesting argument passing mechanism and a relatively novel take on OO." --Hannes On 10/17/18, Ben Coman <btc(a)openinworld.com> wrote: > Have you looked at Ni?

Hi Petr, On Tue, 16 Oct 2018 at 21:25, Petr Fischer via Pharo-users <pharo-users(a)lists.pharo.org> wrote: > > My problem - use Dates as Dictionary keys - shortly: > > d1 := Date today translateToUTC. > d2 := Date today. > > d1 = d2. (true!) Which timezone are you in? CEDT (UTC+0200) gives false for this. Date is implemented primarily as a timespan, so days in different timezones are considered different. If you do: | d1 d2 | d1 := Date today translateTo: (TimeZone abbreviated: 'UTC') offset. d2 := Date today translateTo: (TimeZone abbreviated: 'EST') offset. { d1 = d2. d1 equals: d2 } You can see the difference. Of course, this doesn't help with using Date as a key in a dictionary. Probably your best option is to look at Sven's excellent ZTimezone package (although I haven't tested it in this scenario). I can't find the repository right now (I think Sven moved it to github). Sven? Cheers, Alistair > d := Dictionary new. > d at: d1 put: 1. > > d at: d1. (ok) > d at: d2.

Re: [Pharo-users] Installing SmaCC

by Dimitris Chloupis

Thank you Thierry , that was exactly what i was looking for :) On the subject of syntax, StrongTalk looks far more advanced compared to what I am aiming which is basically writting C code with Smalltalk like syntax. I am looking at this http://bracha.org/nwst.html Which describes some really impressive features. So I am aiming only for source to source compiler and not implementation of complex systems for incremental compilations , optional type system etc. On parsing strange code that is not much of an issue cause the project I am working on has pretty reasonable code and will probably offer a way to inline c code in case the parser fail. In any case my goals are small , cause I dont have resources for complex implementations. Its also a language that will be designed solely for my needs and be offered open source for anyone else that may find it useful. In any case I am sure I will have many questions to ask :) I was looking into ANTLR , since the book I am reading on language design is using ANTLR but I rather implement this in Pharo. I used SmaCC when I was working for my Python bridge and I really liked it , mostly because it offers ready made syntax definitions for most popular languages. Which makes my life a lot easier.

Re: [Pharo-users] Installing SmaCC

by Thierry Goubier

Hi Dimitris, Le 16/10/2018 Ã 19:39, Dimitris Chloupis a Ã©critÂ : > yes i already said that i followed the instructions in the github repo Yes, by default that installation of SmaCC does not load all parsers (some of them are fairly large). However, most of them are in the downloaded repository, so you can load them independently. Otherwise, loading that way, should load everything: Metacello new baseline: 'SmaCC'; repository: 'github://SmaCCRefactoring/SmaCC'; load: #('Tools' 'Examples' 'Examples-Extra') Regarding your language question, I'd suggest two things: - Look at StrongTalk for a way to write Smalltalk with type declarations... - C parsers able to parse most strange C code one may encounter takes some work...
