[Pharo-users] Coding by sending messages

2014-06-11 Thread Matthew Chadwick
hello, It's interesting that in Smalltalk, coding is still done via a text editor, not by sending messages to objects (except in the background, parsing compiling etc). I've been playing with coding by messaging nodes in the AST with a view to coding this way via Roassal graph visualizations

Hello, The problem is that in most cases non text editor based IDE are not user-friendly/hard to understand/hard to use. We are moving toward AST based tools software side but it will still be a textEditor for the user interface. I remember there may be something similar to what you are looking

The VisualAge series from IBM (Instantiations now owns the Smalltalk variant) used a very visual programming metaphor for Smalltalk, C++ and Java. C++ and Java programmers tended to not like the fact that ENVY was used for code, rather than the file system, and that kind of if you don't act

[Pharo-users] Gradualtalk

I am trying to look at the annotation typing used in Gradualtalk, but I am having no success. I download the gradualtalk. zip and what I think is the correct Cog VM, but when I run Croquet I do not see any window; I do see the application running in the Task Manager. I am trying to install it

Hi Bob, I think you’ve got the wrong vm. We have not tried Gradualtalk on Windows, but it’s odd to me that your vm is Croquet.exe. Could you download the latest vm from the Pharo website and try with that? On Jun 11, 2014, at 10:16 AM, Bob Williams rwilliam...@cox.net wrote: I am trying to

[Pharo-users] Base64 encoding + UTF8 ?

2014-06-11 Thread François Stephany
I might hit some problem with Base64 encoding in there. It seems that Pharo does not use UTF8 for its Base64 encoding. I'm probably missing something related to Base64 encoding... In Pharo 3.0: ZnBase64Encoder new encode: 'tamèreenslipdeguerre' asByteArray. - 'dGFt6HJlZW5zbGlwZGVndWVycmU='

Bonsoir François, From the class comment of ZnBase64Encoder: [...] Note that to encode a String as Base64, you first have to encode the characters as bytes using a character encoder. [...] Sending #asByteArray to a String is the same as doing no encoding (or doing null encoding). Consider:
