I feel there is something missing from your analysis I would like to
highlight, Dimitris. Some projects can be solo. Others require
collaborative planning. BigData requires collaboration, especially given
it's commercial focus. If there is not interest, it is not a problem for
me.
As you, I have this big pile of beans on front of me. I think I'll go
pick a few up and put them in the sack.
have a good one,

I am sure for many other coders the case is quite similar. Free time
is a luxury. But in the end as we say in Greece "bean by bean you make
the sack full" or as the English say "in a long road make tiny steps"
. It does not matter how much you can help, the fact that you provide
a tiniest bit of code will be less time spent for the next coder.
Thats helpful enough.

You're right of course; I made bad choice of words. It is
challenging me to explain what I meant as there is something
reasonable I am trying to say. I will try.
We all have our own interests and projects we wish to achieve in
Pharo. Often this means everyone is working on their own
directions and interests and often this means working alone
without a team-oriented project. People with similar interests
will join efforts and plans. Other projects have been determined
to align with pharo's core vision and BigTalk and discussion has
yielded plans and work proceedeth collaboratively.
I work on SecureSession and CryptOCaps as my own interests and I
get much welcome help but they are my projects. I tr to talk about
them in hopes others will use them, but it is my efforts which pay
off. SecureSession is solid and usable.
The realm of BigData is different. I have knowledge and experience
there and I think it would be powerful for Pharo, but they aree
not my main focus. If Pharo wishes to get into this space, it best
be done collaboratively which requires some BigWords to
coordinate. As they are not my main focus and needs collaboration,
a team should form around it, whether it is in the PharoVision or
not. This is where I think I misspoke, making it official.
I wish I had twice the time available, to work CryptOCaps and
BigData, but I do not. If nobody is interested in seeing how Pharo
does with BigData there is not anything I can do nor could I offer
my experienmces there to assist. My suggestions to form a BigData
team around it, to coordinate and collaborate, fall short if there
is no interest. I will stop encouraging this and refocus back on
my work.
My apologies for the distractions,
Robert

Should be ? There is no "should be" it is what it is, if anyone
wants something more he is more than welcomed to stop writing to
the mailing list and use that time instead to sit his ass down
and make the code . The potential of Pharo is unlimited but
taking advantage of it is hard work and nothing else. BigData
frameworks dont come from BigWords.
I wanted Pharo to work with python and use python libraries . Did
I came to this mailing list to write that pharo "should be" able
to use python libraries, because python is super popular and its
constantly growing ?
Nope !
I sat down my ass and worked hard to make it happen and I did
accomplish it. Still much to improve but there is no substitute
to hard work and putting the time to improve pharo.
You wanna use Jars from Pharo , no problemo, work hard and do it.
But please dont tell me what should be in the vision of Pharo,
why BigData and not 3d graphics, why 3d graphics and not network
libraries, why network libraries and not more IDE tools, why IDE
tools and not more advanced language features, why advance
language features and not a C API , why C API and not web
development frameworks ?
In the end nothing , NOTHING , should be outside the scope of a
language that wants to call itself "turing complete" . No goal is
higher than something else. Each coders has different needs .
What it "Should be" is people that are willing to work hard to
make THEIR OWN NEEDS a reality using a tool THEY LOVE using. Its
a choice.
And a Stef so well says it
Pharo is Yours
