Hi ricardo - You can ship pharo without sources. In fact the sources are not used during execution (just for the human). - You can ship pharo without debugger. This is one line of code. - Soon we expect to be able to remove the compiler and the decompiler :). - You can also control that the commandline does not allow code execution
Now this is not user friendly. We wan with esteban to provide a way to deploy applications (by opposition of code). So I can tell you that we want to have a process and tooling to help for that. I you need help to get you started with Pharo let us know. stef On Fri, Oct 13, 2017 at 5:42 PM, Ricardo Pacheco <ricardo.pacheco.rol...@gmail.com> wrote: > IMHO, one important aspect to deliver comercial solutions for customers in an > environment like Pharo is to be able to protect certain code or algorithms > developed by the company.
