I'm on Windows 10, using Pharo 7.0 alpha 32 bit.
Can I at least expect to be able to save code in my local Monticello repository ? It bombs. I just reported a bug!
Can I expect the Windows installer for Pharo Launcher to work on Windows? It doesn't : it crashes.
Can I expect Pharo Launcher (not installed from the .exe installer) to work on Windows? It just doesn't. I get all kinds of error related to WindowsStore, bad UTF-8 encoding and other things... (see https://twitter.com/smalltalkdev/status/978973863332798464 <https://twitter.com/smalltalkdev/status/978973863332798464>)
Can I expect that when looking for implementors of a method things still work? I get duplicates (see attached file).
Can I expect reading input from the console to work on Windows? It doesn't.
Can I expect to be able to test my stuff on Windows? That's kinda hard when Windows is always 6 months to 1 year behind VM-wise.
Can I expect to be able to contribute ? That is kinda sad but all the cool scripts out there are .sh files.
I'm not whining about the effort people put into this project : I'm mostly whining about duplication of effort and code and *very poor* Windows support...
Just spend 2 weeks working with Pharo on Windows. You can start with version 5.1 if you want and let me know how it goes... Brace yourself, I'm telling you, you're off for a wild & unpleasant ride.
