[Pharo-users] [ANN] Announcing the Winner of the 2022 JRMPC Competition

I am pleased to announce the winner of this year's JRMPC competition. The judges reviewed all the submissions and came to the extraordinary decision that only **Ana DuCristea** of John G. Diefenbaker High School in Calgary, AB was worthy of an award. Her work was outstanding and constituted enor

[Pharo-users] [ANN] Last Day for JRMPC Registration

We only have 10 registrations. This is a major disappointment. Why the low turnout? We believe it’s because of the pandemic. High school students are tired and stressed out. The last thing they’re thinking about is a programming competition. We will make the best of a bad situation. The competi

[Pharo-users] How to indent block of text

Has indenting text changed in Pharo? Ctrl-Alt-R and Ctrl-Alt-L don’t work for me anymore. Thanks.

[Pharo-users] How many active Smalltalkers worldwide?

I’m guessing between 10 and 20 thousand. I’m guessing a few thousand for each of GemStone/S, Pharo, Squeak, VAST, and VisualWorks. I’m guessing a few hundred for each of Amber, Cuis, Dolphin, and GNU.

[Pharo-users] Re: R: Re: The Greatest Contributors to Smalltalk since 1980

With very few exceptions, no important programming language ever “dies.” Even APL and Forth are still in use today, if only in a small way (including their derivatives like J and Factor). But from the perspective of the programming community at large, if a programming language no longer has a l

[Pharo-users] Re: The Greatest Contributors to Smalltalk since 1980

Thanks to everyone for some great suggestions. I’m coming around to the notion that I asked the wrong question. In the context of Smalltalk’s 50th anniversary, the reason I asked the question is because I noted that in APL’s 50th anniversary celebration, they gave an award to the one individual

[Pharo-users] The Greatest Contributors to Smalltalk since 1980

I’m looking for a list of individuals who have contributed greatly to the advancement of Smalltalk, post Xerox PARC period (1972-1980). By advancement, I don’t only mean on a technical basis but on an educational or public awareness basis (this could include books, podcasts, talk circuit, video
