[Pharo-users] is there live preview for pillar?
Hi, is there any editor extension for Pillar that would show me the result version side by side with what I am typing, as I am typing it? (Also it has to be desktop editor, nothing online). Thanks, Peter

Have a look at the Setting chapter in the deep into pharo book. Everything is nicely explained there. Stef

Maybe Dart is close to Smalltalk, but here are some things that apparently [1] we would miss ... * Class extensions (especially with type tests) * Non-local returns * Resumable exceptions * Class inheritance * Really easy meta-programming * become:, thisContext, etc. * Generality on class operations * new MustBeLiteralClassName() * Coding in the debugger * DSL-building * Development image, tool extensibility I see you asked a similar question a while ago. Clement's answer on lack of requirements is particularly pertinent [2]. However it may be interesting to port the OpenSmalltalk VM to Fuscia's kernel Magenta [3] except the mention there of C++ might complicate things, or even port it to Little Kernel [4][5] if Google has done the work to get LK running on RPi. cheers -ben [1] http://www.dartlang.cc/slides/2013/06/dart-smalltalk-industry-conference.pdf [2] http://lists.pharo.org/pipermail/pharo-dev_lists.pharo.org/2014-October/101921.html [3] https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/magenta/+/HEAD/docs/kernel_objects.md [4] https://github.com/littlekernel/lk/wiki/Introduction [5] https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/magenta/+/HEAD/docs/mg_and_lk.md
[Pharo-users] Beta of Mooc webportal
Hi I published a new version of the webportal (a packaged version of the mooc) with the help of thibault. Now I'm about to test that all the videos have indeed the correct subtitles. If you want to give me a hand or simply have a look http://rmod-pharo-mooc.lille.inria.fr/MOOC/WebPortal/co/pharo.html Once everything will be verified we will push it to the mooc web page and announce it.

Re: [Pharo-users] Google building new OS with Dart
I think a lot could have change in the two years since I asked how Smalltalk can benefit from the development of Dart. Originally, Dart was meant to be a web language. Now it is going to be the main language for an Operating System. Since it has the full backing of Google, it is in our interest to ride with it. I wish Smalltalk not to miss out again. We can of course port the current VM's for Squeak, Pharo, VisualWorks to Fuchsia, but what do we gain by that? Not much, I think. What if Smalltalk can do everything Dart can do in Fuchsia - look and feel, apps, scripting, concurrency, etc. Since Smalltalk seems to be a superset of Dart, can we auto translate Dart to Smalltalk? Just as Slang converts Smalltalk to C, can we have a Smalltalk subset that converts to Dart? Can Smalltalk be the debugger or simulator for Dart development? Can Smalltalk do more than what Dart can do in Fuchsia? I wish I have access to the great minds Ben had mentioned. I am hoping that this thread will draw the best minds and ideas to pave the way for Smalltalk or its descendants to succeed in the future. Again, let's brainstorm.
