Re: [Pharo-users] Fwd: introducing my GSoC project - Improving Code Completion

Hi Myroslava, Thanks for being the first GSoC participant to introduce yourself. It can be tough stepping into a new community. In the past I've felt some disconnect from GSoC participants where most of the communication occurs between participants and their mentors, while actually the aim of GSo

I think the animation is much better than the idea of "if nothing is selected, then auto-select the entire line". The auto-select idea teaches bad habits, or it teaches something different from how the UI normally works / is supposed to work. And then you start a schism of Smalltalk UIs: Some tha

Yes, I like that best, too. I wonder how hard it would be to add this to Amber. jgfoster wrote >> On May 10, 2019, at 8:53 AM, Christopher Fuhrman < > christopher.fuhrman@ > > wrote: >> >> >> On Fri, May 10, 2019, 15:32 Richard Kenneth Eng < > horrido.hobbies@ > horrido.hobbie

We have too many Bill Gates’s and too few Steve Jobs’s. ‘uglification of the world - it’s a universal trend’ (Unbearable Lightness of Being, 1984). Smalltalk community suffers from too few people in general. For every 1 ‘ok’ worker you need one genius visionary to turn things upside down. It

Branching as such is not a sign of bad design in OOP. The actual dogma is that *testing the class of an argument instead of dispatching* is a sign of bad design. Just consider the case of binary search. That is not the kind of branching that lends itself to dynamic dispatch. Nor is the kind of br

Hello everyone, I am a final year undergraduate student of Information Technologies in Novi Sad, Serbia. I first heard about Pharo about a year ago when professor Stephane Ducasse gave a guest lecture at our Faculty. I thought I was familiar with Object Oriented Programming, having been learning J
