Absolutely. I have contemplated giving it a try. But when I go look at
the mailing list, it looks like such a lonely place. I still might give
it a go. It looks interesting.

When you insert a jpeg from a file, for some reason the file descriptor
(stream) is kept open (at least in the Windows end of things). Then, if a
second page is to be generated, the following error is shown:

I watched this video a year ago and was intrigued. I have not thought
about it deeply and do not know consequences of this model. However,
Gilad is a smart man who has thought deeply about these things and has
experienced consequences as a language designer. But it does sound
interesting and I
In addition to the excellent replies you have already received I would
like to offer this from Stack Overflow.
In their 2017 Developer Survey, Smalltalk was the second most loved
language at 67% of developers surveyed. This is a regular occurrence.
Now if you look at the rest of the survey y
This is super easy.
- You ask here,
- Second then you try to grab the best open-minded guys you know and
they will use the super cool mooc and learn Pharo in a week or two.
You can tell them that we are not teaching Pharo and still students
good in Java learn it before their internships.
For a good
I'm sure this comes up with many less main stream languages - I think there is
a strong argument (particularly if we get the GitHub piece operating smoothly)
that the language is so simple that what you creating is domain understanding
(not language/tools prowess).
Any good developer (particula
I would have followed the Python approach.
When Guido created Python , it did not try to convince his co-workers about
how superior it was compared to other languages. At the time he did not
intend to use it even as programming language. That worked to his
advantage. Instead it used it for small t
Hello Paulo,
its a problem to get Smalltalkers - simple as it is. I had contacts with
Smalltalkers who wanted to do Smalltalk-"only" jobs - thats impossible
to guarantee in a smaller company and perhaps a mind I would not expect
from Smalltalker.
And the point about "Main Development Language" ..
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.

Hi Paulo,
I think this is not the right question to ask.
The problem is not "Where to find Smalltalk developers?", the problem is
rather
"How much effort does it take to help a good experienced OO developer to
transition to Smalltalk?"
OO developers have to steadily gain
Hi Paulo,
That is a really good question and I hope to do it justice.
What if you chose Elixir, Ruby, Closure, Go or Pony or Smalltalk - where would
you get developers?
There is some validity to this question as it can be hard to get developers but
in Smalltalk’s case there is a heritage that
Dear all,
after using Smalltalk for several years I developed a passion for the
language (how not to?), and Pharo is just so great to develop with.
So thank you guys for keeping this wonderful project running.
