Re: [Pharo-users] We Are Smalltalk

[Davorin Rusevljan]

very nice.

I have noticed that linked youtube videos have less likes than
positive responses here. Liking them on youtube could help a bit for
youtube algorithm to appreciate them slightly more.

priceless.

Re: [Pharo-users] Smalltalk Argument

[Davorin Rusevljan]

One way to address this issue is to factor in your development grooming of
young Smalltalk developers, which can act as pool of potential full
developers for your project. If you can add some of your domain specific
issues to their grooming, you could increase your project HR safety quite a
lot.

Re: [Pharo-users] Dark Mode

[Davorin Rusevljan]

If I can throw in my 2c, themes are like nutrition facts. When I was a kid
eggs were the healthiest thing to consume in universe. Then they were a
root of all evil, and now days are nutrition packed food.

I have observed similar circles in background color usability. Pharo has
ability to choose a theme, it has both currently fashionable and older ones
to choose from. I do not see need for anything else on that front.

[Pharo-users] Smalltalk on Stack Overflow Developers Survey 2017

[Davorin Rusevljan]

sorry to abuse pharo list, but I guess it is related enough.

Smalltalk made it to SO developer Survey. Unfortunately it did not appear
in most used languages list, but it got great place as "Second most loved
language"!

So for those of you who participated in the survey, it payed off.

Re: [Pharo-users] Becoming good at VM development

 Hi
 hello to everyone  everybody
 I am interesting in going deeply into VM design, development, optimization,
 etc. I know a lot of Haskell, a good amount of C and some languages that
 use
 VM like Python, Lua and Pharo of course.
 What would be a road map (books, articles, code to read) to understand
 deeply and in detail the Pharo VM, the inter operation between the VM and
 the image. I know this could take a lot of time but I'm committed to invest
 that time.
 Please help me as literature on these topics is very scarce...
 Thank SO SO much in advacne

Get a copy of Smalltalk blue book and read implementation part. It is very
old, but it would get you many important ideas.

http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks/BlueBook/Bluebook.pdf

after that, there is a source of Squek/Pharo virtual machines, and you can
even run and debug them it inside Pharo.

 Hi all!
 I get this strange error when executing some tests. What is it? I think It
 has something to do with OSProcess. I will be happy to give more

 Thanks!



It tells you that you do not have AIO plugin

I have blog on it, and it is certainly great and flexible to use and in
many ways fun and refreshing, once one gets a feeling for its ways.

But getting the version that works  can be daunting process,  and can be
burden if someone just wants to blog.

Re: [Pharo-users] Blue book, worth reading?

[Davorin Rusevljan]

For me, one of the few Books with capital B. It will teach you spirit of
Smalltalk like nothing else.

But if you are looking for book that will give you practical kickstart in
Smalltalk, Pharo by example might be the ticket.
