However I think that using coding agents can be very useful for Pharo. It can help us to develop features that otherwise we will simply not do. For example I am thinink about Morphic and its window managing system. Morphic is already old code that we do not understand and that we will get rid off. I would like to experiment with Claude to see if we can have that implemented (There is one person on Discord that did this for example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF2Bcl2Mu3Q <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF2Bcl2Mu3Q>)
Also, Firefox people found and fixed insane security bugs thanks to LLMs too: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2026/05/behind-the-scenes-hardening-firefox/ We could also benefit from that. > They talk about "comprehension debt" (evolution of the technical debt concept) > > cheers > > nicolas > > On 2026-05-07 22:01, Koen De Hondt wrote: >> Dear Pharo users and developers, >> >> I posted a first article in a series about using AI in Pharo development. >> After seeing the world embrace agentic development tools, I decided it was >> time to look into them and see how they can be used for software development >> in Pharo. >> >> https://all-objects-all-the-time.st/#/blog/posts/24 >> >> As always, all feedback is welcome. >> >> Happy reading! >> >> Ciao, >> Koen > -- > Nicolas Anquetil > Evref team -- Inria Lille
