Re: [Pharo-users] Some facts and figures about pharo gaining momentum?

You can check the github repos, github allows you to browse project repos per language. You could probably automate that from Pharo, use the Github API like Iceberg does fetch the names of all projects using smalltalk language and check to see which ones have commits the last year and then make a n

Re: [Pharo-users] Its too hard to contribute to the Iceberg wiki

Another solution is to clone the wiki, it offers its github link and then make a new repo for the wiki alone and upload the files which are regular md files (github markdown). The good news is that you wont be losing any of the conveniences because github offers a markdown editor with live previews

Re: [Pharo-users] A new idea for a project: WarpSpeed (a C inliner)

That does not change the fact that you will have a FFI overhead. For example pyOpenGL 2 was implemented using the Python C API as a wrapper to OpenGL pyOpenGL3 was implemented using ctypes, the official FFI of python (cpython in particular) . Version 3 is 2 to 3 times slower than version 2. But

Re: [Pharo-users] A new idea for a project: WarpSpeed (a C inliner)

TinyC has not similar perfomance to gcc and clang, its actually slower as Stephan already mentioned. Thats the price one has to pay for the much smaller compiler, it loses a lot of optimisations. Clement from what you saying its clear my idea would not work at all, the advantage of tinyC is that

[Pharo-users] AST documentation

Is there any documentation for the Pharo AST and any ways to affect Pharo syntax ? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/AST-documentation-tp4877909.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] Compiling Pharo to C++

"Then I guess you can do something like Slang, which is used for the VM. Slang is a restrictive Smalltalk compiling to C. " I dont think Slang is close to what I am trying to do, last time I checked Slang out it appeared to me that Slang is trying to create as much smalltalk syntax as possible. My

Re: [Pharo-users] Compiling Pharo to C++

"Hi Kilon, the way your are explaining it, it seems you are trying to build a Smalltalk-like syntax in C++ via templates? It could make moving a software architecture from Smalltalk to C++ significantly easier (and open maybe some opportunities). Thierry" Bingo ! You get it ! Thats what is all

Re: [Pharo-users] Compiling Pharo to C++

"Are you sure C++ compilation is the best way ? There are a lot of flaws: Smalltalk needs to be restrictive or will be compiled to very slow code, you will loose debugging features, etc. I would try to integrate Pharo the same way lua is integrated in engines like Source2 from valve: you run your

Re: [Pharo-users] Compiling Pharo to C++

Ok first my apology to people because I see that many have misunderstood my motivation. So let me be crystal clear. *This IS NOT an effort to make Pharo "super cool". "Look mom Pharo compiles to C++ magically, it runs blazzing fast, it can use C++ libraries with zero efforts" and similar none se

[Pharo-users] Compiling Pharo to C++

So doing further research into Unreal , I have reached the conclusion that the best way to integrate Pharo is make a compiler that takes Pharo code and compiles it to C++. I have barely scratch such area when I was playing around with Pharo AST nodes. Any advice / ideas how to accomplish this ?

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo and OpenMP

Thanks for posting the link to the original post , I tried to find it but I failed. On the matter why people did not reply is probably because the idea is too "vague" and very "theoretical" and probably because the post is long. Just for the record I have since dismissed as an idea both the C-i
