We often get suggestions for such bindings. While in general it would be a great thing and I often promote lowering barriers of entry, I feel in this context "pure text mode" developers are more likely to find many other barriers with Pharo not fitting their familiar development paradigm. Such bindings are not the low hanging fruit for enticing developer to try Pharo and a better market is targeting those needing a better IDE.
The more likely path to emacs/vim is pharo as a shell command which leaves a user's workflow around editing unchanged. cheers -ben On 9 December 2017 at 05:35, Kjell Godo <squeakl...@gmail.com> wrote: > isn't GNU Smalltalk a emacs Smalltalk? > maybe making a migration path from GNU to Pharo could be good? > > On Fri, Dec 8, 2017 at 1:33 PM, Kjell Godo <squeakl...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> if Pharo could have a emacs version or face or something >> that would advertise more functions that you can get >> from the Pharo version >> or maybe link the two versions Pharo and emacsVimPharo >> so there is like a migration path to Pharo >> or they could work together >> that could be lower the barrier to entry >> i saw emacs vim guy who could also hate to learning something new >> >> On Fri, Dec 8, 2017 at 1:08 PM, Stephane Ducasse <stepharo.s...@gmail.com >> > wrote: >> >>> Hi Richard >>> >>> Thanks this is nice.
