Some of us are happy using Pharo (1.4)... new product we are developing.

yes... there is a problem in latest vm's and UUID generation (I don't
know if it is present at any vm or just mines, but well...). For the
moment, faster solution is by deactivating uuid primitive, at:
UUID>>#primMakeUUID
<primitive: 'primitiveMakeUUID' module: 'UUIDPlugin'>
UUIDGenerator default generateBytes: self forVersion: 4.
just comment the primitive call.
Guys, srsly? Is this some kind of practical joke? You have been shipping
with a known bug that has a trivial fix and eats peoples code? You are
wondering why nobody takes you seriously and you don't have more users?
You teach software engineering?
Hum, you know like in most open-source software project, nothing
happens by magic, unfortunately.
Human ressources are very scarce as Pharo is a part-time project for
most of us. Maybe your problem will required some interactions between
VM guys and Pharoers. Not something that could be done in 5 minutes.
Did you submit an issue in the bug tracker just to keep track of it ?
Did you package some patch that could be used more easily by people
who do the release ?
This is exactly the kind of shit that makes me want to never again use
Pharo in production. This is the reason why I don't recommend Pharo to
other people.
If you use Pharo in production did you give money to support the project
?
Pharo is not supported by a company (not yet), so no commitments could
be done on the speed of the adoption of patches.
People are just doing their best to enhance the system. And if you
help them (by packaging patches that solve some problems), everyone
will win in the long term.
And that is completely fine. But then you don't have to be surprised
when people don't take you serious, you don't have more users and you
don't have any enterprise penetration.
To quote from the project page:
"We want Pharo to be the obvious choice for professional development in
an open-source Smalltalk."
Pro tip: if you want to be the obvious choice for professional
development don't eat peoples code.
Cheers
Philippe
