"You cannot take an alpha version and expect production quality." 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) 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. ----------------- Benoît St-Jean Yahoo!
