[Pharo-users] Using Pharo for instrumentation & process control

Hi Ben, The ML didn't break out Guillermo's topic change into a new thread as I expected it to, so I'm "manually" starting this as a new one -- unless there's a better/easier way..?? I'll respond to your message more fully later today (and after I've checked out your links). In the meantime...

Re: [Pharo-users] Pumping FFI documentation [WAS] FFI beginner question

Hi Guillermo, I obviously gave the impression that I was focused on the UFFI code/documentation, but actually I'm up for helping in this way for any/all elements of Pharo, not just this one. Reviewing & editing (for grammar, clarification, spelling & punctuation, et al.) is definitely something I

Re: [Pharo-users] FFI beginner question

Guillermo, I'm interested in helping, but at this point, I think I'd be most helpful working at improving documentation (mainly editing) rather than working on Pharo code itself. (I'd like to work toward that, though.) I'm still a newbie with Pharo, but I am a good writer/editor. And I expect

I'm also interested in this... Any plans to draft a Pharo booklet on this subject? -Ted -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

[Pharo-users] Pharo showing up where you least expect it

I spotted a Pharo object in Los Angeles... It was a type mismatch -- not the category that I was expecting. I didn't have time for a breakpoint, so I didn't halt to inspect it (or browse its menus). I haven't read any critics' profiles

Re: [Pharo-users] Bloc of code in tiers programming language

Hi Offray, Yes, I definitely agree with you that Lua does not have the nice development environment of Pharo (what other language does?), and is very bare-bones, as it was originally intended for embedded applications. I've gone through nearly all of the online version of the Pharo MOOC now, and

Re: [Pharo-users] Bloc of code in tiers programming language

Hi Offray, You probably know that you can develop Lua using OOP techniques, so they're not so opposite for me, at least. There is a significant difference as far as their OOP styles, however: Lua OOP is prototype-based, not class-based. But you can fashion class(like) objects in Lua and progra

Re: [Pharo-users] Bloc of code in tiers programming language

You got it. Thanks, Ben! After success with Lua, now I'm thinking about how to get Pharo inserted into the culture here... Ben Coman wrote > You mean like this... > > In System Browser... > Object subclass: #A > instanceVariableNames: '' > classVariableNames: '' > package: 'AA' > > A

Re: [Pharo-users] Bloc of code in tiers programming language

I beg your pardon.. and thank you for being the first to draw my attention to the fact that the phrase (a common enough American colloquialism) is actually a logical fallacy. Until now, it's been strictly idiomatic to me. And thank you for your prompt reply. Am I safe to assume that blocks in

Re: [Pharo-users] Bloc of code in tiers programming language

Richard, Question from someone still fairly new to Smalltalk: To implement the example you gave regarding mutually recursive functions in Lua, one must write something like this: local f, g function g () f() end function f () g() end where the

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo download with wget

Which version of 'libcurl' do you have installed on your system? Due to some unfortunate history (involving naming), libcurl3 and libcurl4 cannot both reside on the same system. Try "locate libcurl.so". Does it show "libcurl.so.3" or "libcurl.so.4"? You may wish to upgrade to v4. Cheers, -Ted

Re: [Pharo-users] Smalltalk tutorial is broken

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

I tried this in a Linux container on a Chromebook (a Pixelbook model), and got the same behavior for both the Glamour Example Browser and when scrolling long methods in the code browser. The Linux version in the default ChromeOS container is Debian 9 (stretch). -Ted Pierce Ng-3 wrote > Anyone
