Hello everyone, For a university project I need to write a little about Pharo. I found the "Pharo vision" document [1] and I am curious about the actual state of Pharo in comparison with it.
I have seen some things on the mailing list but I would like some help to gather the state of each goal described in "Pharo vision" version 1.0. I made a list with the goals and wrote some of the (little) knowledge I have about some elements (I also joined it to this mail in case it is not readable): Goals -> State ------------------- 1. Creation of the Pharo Consortium -> Created 2. Small kernel & validated packages -> ? 3. A Robust and Extensible System Events -> ? 4. Rewrite of Filesystem/Streams -> ?/XStream? 5. Announcements and Ephemerons -> ? 6. UI Canvas for Zoomable Interfaces -> Bloc? 7. Bootstrap of the Core -> ? 8. Fully parametrized compiler tool chain -> ? 9. Packages as real objects -> ? 10. Package Meta-Data -> PackageManifest? 11. Less Model Clutter and Duplication -> ? 12. Building and Reusing UI Logic -> Spec? 13. New Network Layer -> ? 14. Serializers -> Fuel 15. SystemChangeNotifier replacement -> ? 16. Cleaning Morphic -> Still valid? (asking because of Bloc existance) 17. Everybody should be able to compile VMs -> ? 18. VMs identification and regression testing -> ? 19. One Unified FFI framework -> Created and still being enhanced 20. 64 Bits -> I saw the screenshot on Twitter but what is the state now? 21. New Object Formats -> ? If some of you know the state of one or many of these project and have the time to give me some information about it/them, I would be really grateful. Thanks in advance, Julien Links: [1]: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/30434/PharoVision.pdf
