Hi folks
Welcome :)
I've been playing with Pharo recently, and really enjoying writing
some programs in the Pharo environment.
I'm happy to hear that.
As a result, I've been wondering if I can use Pharo the way I would
use Emacs, as an environment for doing everything.
Basically yes.
For example, can I use Pharo to:
* Send emails to this mailing list?
Yes. In the past there was Celeste an email client.
* Use IRC?
There was a client somewhere
* Start Bash?
If you ask me, I would like to we able to write pharo programs and run
them headless and one error get a debugger, edit/debug the script and
press continue and gte my script fixed.
* Read the Pharo documentation (e.g. Pharo By Example)?
With GT-inspector you can edit pillar file and we were thinking
that it should not be that difficult to write a little renderer
If these things do exist, how do I discover them? Is there a package
manager I can use to find new tools I can use in Pharo?
Some of them are old
- look on squeakmap (they may not work directly in Pharo_
- look on squeaksource
- look on smalltalkhub
Now we are slwoly building an infrstructure where published packages
will be validated for a distribution and a catalog will be
automatically built.
