Looking for an engineer position to work on Virtual Machines
by Pierre Misse-Chanabier Oct. 25, 2022

Oct. 25, 2022

Hello, My name is Pierre Misse-Chanabier. I'm finishing my PhD in the RMOD team on testing Virtual Machines in about two months. I am therefore looking for a Job, hopefully in the Pharo community ! Ideally, I'm looking to work in the domains of Virtual Machines or Language Tooling, or Meta-programing, but I'm open to other opportunities. See my CV attached. I have to stay in Lille for at least the next year, therefore, I am looking to work remotely. Here are my most important projects and publications about them: Illicium : a framework to generate C code from Pharo code. Github repository: [ https://github.com/hogoww/Illicium | https://github.com/hogoww/Illicium ] IWST'19 Illicium: A modular transpilation toolchain from Pharo to C [ https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02297860/ | https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02297860/ ] version poster SAC'22 & full ICSR'22: Differential testing of simulation-based VM generators: automatic detection of VM generator semantic gaps between simulation and generated VMs [ https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-08129-3_7 | https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-08129-3_7 ] [ https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3477314.3507171 | https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3477314.3507171 ] Polyphemus: Retro engineering of the Pharo Image, and ease of VM tooling Github Repository: [ https://github.com/hogoww/Polyphemus/ | https://github.com/hogoww/Polyphemus/ ] Video Presentation for Esug Innovation award (I was unable to present it myself): [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf3cCtNW830 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf3cCtNW830 ] VMIL'22: Ease VM Level Tooling with Language Level Ordinary Object Pointers [ https://hal.inria.fr/hal-03827632 | https://hal.inria.fr/hal-03827632 ] (preprint) I am particularly interested in my latest work: Polyphemus. I have also worked on many part of the Pharo ecosystem. The Pharo VM, The Pharo bootstrap, Calypso, Debugger, selector extraction, Iceberg scripting, SUnit ... Let me know if you have openings or questions ! Pierre

Cleaning stale branches
by Guille Polito Oct. 5, 2022

Oct. 5, 2022

We have a couple of stale branches, named a bit chaotically, Iâd like to rename them in a good way, but I donât remember what they are about :) The numbers below (behind | ahead) are according to the current stable pharo9 branch. - headless has already the new tree organisation with cmake - dev-7 and pharo branches have the old tree organisation, dev-7 has some bugfixes when comparing to `pharo` - Cog has the original imported version from monticello Maybe we can have some naming convention for branches? - pharo-[version] to denote major development version branches - feat/[feature] for feature branches if needed Then the four above should be renamed accordingly. Something on the lines of... - Cog -> rename as pharo-0? - pharo -> can be removed - dev-7 -> pharo-1 - headless -> pharo-2 ? G

Making pharoX the default branch
by Guille Polito Oct. 5, 2022

Oct. 5, 2022

Hi all, We were thinking here with Jean Privat that we could make the pharoX branch (the dev branch) the default branch in the repository. Itâs just a convenience for dev. Thoughts? What should we add in the readme to make sure people do not make mistakes? - say that stable versions are in releases? - say the default branch is always dev? cheers, G & J
