Ok! I'm really confused. I'm wanting to write new GUI and I have no idea which framework to use. There is very little documentation on any of these and I don't see a clear cut statement of direction as to where the Pharo community is heading.
Can someone please advise?
Thanks.
Hi,
From what I know:
Morphic is the low level layer behind GUI in Pharo. Since this is low level there is usually some framework on top for users to use. Spec is a framework to build GUI. Brick is a work in progress. There is a project call Bloc that will replace Morphic in the future. Brick is a layer on top of Bloc to build widgets on top of Bloc. Glamour is good to use if you work a lot with some flux of data. Each elements of a Glamour panel will be feed by data from another element. It is good to use when you have, for example, elements to update on a list selection or thing like that. I hope this will help you to make your choice. So Morphic will vanish in few years. Bloc and brick will replace it. I think there is a Moose book with a Glamour chapter. And the community is writing a book on spec I think.
