Hi, this is my following of vision document: > 1. Creation of the Pharo Consortium -> Created DONE
> 2. Small kernel & validated packages -> >>In progress (Bootstrap + Cargo) In progress > 3. A Robust and Extensible System Events -> ? DONE. Announcements (but now we have “announcements plague” so we need to iterate/clean a bit here) > 4. Rewrite of Filesystem/Streams -> ?/XStream? -> >>In progress, there was > the introduction of File IIRC FileSystem DONE Streams NOT DONE > 5. Announcements and Ephemerons -> >> Will be in Pharo 6 DONE (in Pharo 6) > 6. UI Canvas for Zoomable Interfaces -> Bloc? >>I think yes In progress: Will be Block, yes > 7. Bootstrap of the Core -> >>Should be for Pharo 6. The Bootstrap build > pass on Jenkins but still need some love from Christophe, Guillermo and Pavel In progress. > 8. Fully parametrized compiler tool chain -> >>I think I heard that a lot of > progress have been made in this area but I don't have any detail and I am not > sure. DONE (OpalCompiler, etc.) > 9. Packages as real objects -> >>In progress. now package are objects but > there will be improvements with Cargo DONE. Cargo is another thing :) > 10. Package Meta-Data -> >>PackageManifest DONE (but still tools can be built on it) > 11. Less Model Clutter and Duplication -> ? Permanent ongoing process. > 12. Building and Reusing UI Logic -> >>Spec DONE (Spec), but allows enhancements (as everything, I think) > 13. New Network Layer -> >> I think this is Zinc but it still need some work In progress (Zinc is part, but some low-level stuff can be enhanced) > 14. Serializers -> Fuel >> + STON DONE (Fuel, STON) > 15. SystemChangeNotifier replacement -> ? DONE (SystemAnnouncer) > 16. Cleaning Morphic -> Still valid? (asking because of Bloc existance) Permanent ongoing progress (until Bloc arrives, it needs to be done) > 17. Everybody should be able to compile VMs -> ? DONE (CMakeMaker, etc.) > 18. VMs identification and regression testing -> ? DONE > 19. One Unified FFI framework -> Created and still being enhanced DONE (but yes, a v2.0 will be needed) > 20. 64 Bits -> Most of the plugins works on OSX/Unix. Esteban told that it > would need around a month to be usable after his holydays. In progress > 21. New Object Formats -> >>STON ? In progress Now, in fact the Pharo Vision document became old… we made a lot more stuff than declared there and we are going in more exciting directions now (as shown with the remote debugging). Probably we should work in a "Pharo Vision Updated” document, but as always, it takes time, effort, etc…. cheers, Esteban
