[Pharo-dev] Re: How to port VW code to Pharo?
Hi Aik-Siong - Check the archives of this mailing-list because people discussed it. - Do you have tests because it can really help you? The tests in Moose really helped me when I migrated Moose from VW to Pharo. - you may have some differences with float precision. - Some people such as Christian Haidler or Pavel Krivanek did some exporting tools from VW. In the past, I published on store a file format for Squeak (and you should patch the assignment because pharo does not support _) - You may have some issues with namespaces but if you did not use private import you can just map a namespace to a class prefix. - I suggest that you build a baseline as soon as you start to have a package. you commit on github you add GH actions running your tests there is an intensive documentation on baseline in the https://github.com/pharo-open-documentation/pharo-wiki - Will you port GF/ST too? - I have a limited amount of time but I could give you some hands. Now I do not have access to VW for years.

Hi, ask on the VW mailing list (or search the interwebs; currently can't remember what specific to search for besides: porting pharo visualworks namespaces), someone was boasting pretty complete exporter, capable of "de-namespacing", among other things. It was used to port some other sizeable project to Pharo, AFAIR. Sorry, that's all I have.
