Re: [Pharo-users] Can Pharo meet all your computing needs?

For Emac and Pharo is common practice to build a monolithic environment where everything is reimplemented. Emacs has its own email client, git client, command shell, irc client etc etc. But then this lead me to ask the question "Why fight them when you can join them" . The problem with existing so

Hi folks Welcome :) I've been playing with Pharo recently, and really enjoying writing some programs in the Pharo environment. I'm happy to hear that. As a result, I've been wondering if I can use Pharo the way I would use Emacs, as an environment for doing everything. Basically yes. Fo

Hello, I'd like to announce a new micro web framework called Teapot. It follows a similar philosophy than other lightweight frameworks like Sinatra/Bottle/Flask/Spark. Teapot is built on top of the Zn HTTP components, and less than 500 lines long. More info: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~zeroflag/

Wow! I like it. And very well documented. I like many things about it. But why use uppercase selectors for HTTP methods? I can guess you want to "mimic" the HTTP messages, but it reads weird... Thank you! Esteban A. Maringolo 2014-08-24 15:48 GMT-03:00 Attila Magyar : > Hello, > > I'd like

This a very interesting topic. Some time ago I was taking a look at a Tektronik flyer I found on the Internet and seems that in those days, the concept of Smalltalk was that it completely replaced the OS. Or perhaps is more accurate to say that Smalltalk was the OS and the Development Environment.

I agree that reimplementing things in Pharo is a good solution, if that means a cleaner and more flexible design that brings more clarity to anyone viewing the code. Definetly Pharo promotes those things or else I would have little reason to keep using it. Yes agree , my solution is a temporary sol
