Hi Phil,
Have you tried BabyUML? A horrible hack and not yet portable to other
Squeaks, but it is a start.

This is set up for Windows, but the .image and .changes files should
work anywhere (assuming the Squeak VM hasn't been improved so that it

Hi kilon alios,
I want to go deeper than any programming language. "What is a computer?"
Almost all programming languages build on the von Neumann architecture
with data processing as " The execution of a systematic sequence of
operations
performed upon data." I believe this is unnecessarily l

thats the idea yes. Actually I can already call python libraries from pharo

A Python bridge is what I am working on with my project Ephestos, using a
socket server / client relationship between Pharo and Python. So far it
has been going quite well and is already usable for calling python
libraries etc. It seems to work very well even for more complex python
code, like cla
Hi,
Really nice to see this talks here. My two cents would be around
supporting a model that can grow with the user and trying to create a
connected experience. I have been previously teaching Introduction to

Python has no competition. Sure there are languages that are more popular
than Python for their own reasons. There have been simpler languages before

languages etc etc but Python fills a gap that no language was able to fill
