Hi Pharo guys, First, let me wish you a happy new year, health, and success in your projects.
I also wanted to mention that I started the first day of this year trying Pharo on an android tablet (sony) with my develoment image (Pharo 1.3 with lot of stuff loaded : seaside, glorp, dbx, moose fuel and more) and it was really nice ... I even got a local seaside web server running on the tablet. ... 8-) IMHO a great opportunity for Pharo, the ONLY IDE running natively on Android (and mac, and linux and windows), a hyped new system, new media (back to the think pad?) ... There is still a lot of work to make Pharo a "good android citizen" , including (just thoughts): - several basic UI improvements , it is quite difficult to click on a corner to expand a window - keyboard improvements : no way to get alt or ctl key working so far - new theme for tablet (bigger fonts, bigger scrollbars etc) (I started to look at this) - new smalltalk tools : browser, finder inspector (I will try a small Glamourous browser ) - reduce cpu usage (suspend/awake pharo process ? ) - interface to android content providers (audio, video, calendar data etc) - ... and for sure lot more Many thanks to Andreas, Dimitri and other people who worked on it Best regards, Alain
