Hi folks
Welcome :)
I've been playing with Pharo recently, and really enjoying writing some programs in the Pharo environment.
I'm happy to hear that.
As a result, I've been wondering if I can use Pharo the way I would use Emacs, as an environment for doing everything. Basically yes. For example, can I use Pharo to:
* Send emails to this mailing list? Yes. In the past there was Celeste an email client. * Use IRC? There was a client somewhere * Start Bash? If you ask me, I would like to we able to write pharo programs and run them headless and one error get a debugger, edit/debug the script and press continue and gte my script fixed. * Read the Pharo documentation (e.g. Pharo By Example)? With GT-inspector you can edit pillar file and we were thinking that it should not be that difficult to write a little renderer
If these things do exist, how do I discover them? Is there a package manager I can use to find new tools I can use in Pharo?
Some of them are old - look on squeakmap (they may not work directly in Pharo_ - look on squeaksource - look on smalltalkhub Now we are slwoly building an infrstructure where published packages will be validated for a distribution and a catalog will be automatically built. stef
