I just downloaded Pharo Launcher and downloaded Pharo 8.0 - 64bit (Stable)
I created an image but when I try to run it, I see the below Console entries 
and the process disappears.

Im running Catalina on a MacBookPro.

Console filter : Pharo

Thanks for all your answers in the thread. I think that I see how this
can be done now.

+1 to this.

Inheriting means accepting the "interface contract" of being able to
respond to all the messages understood by its superclasses.
It also limits your model to future refactorings and modifications.

I rarely, if ever, sub-classify any "base" class for domain modelling,
and more so in the case of Collection classes, and when I had to deal
with domain classes that did that, it always caused more problems than
solutions.

There are several ways, depending on your intention.

If you intend that the full Dictionary and Collection API is available to
all the places where this artefact will be used, you can add extensions to
the Dictionary class to provide alias accessing methods or you can also
subclass Dictionary and only have your aliases (and whatever API) visible
only to consumers of that class. The former is a quick and dirty approach.
The latter is better, since every Dictionary is NOT a language keyed
collection of article.

If you want to have a limited API, you wrap a dictionary with a new class
that exposes just the API you desire consumers to use.

In general, inheritance is often overused or/ misused. Composition is
usually a better technique unless you want the full API of the hierarchy to
be available and used.

2020-02-19 Thread Esteban Maringolo
I'm not sure I fully understand your question.

But Dictionaries expect its elements to respond to #key/#value messages,
and in the case of Pharo Dictionary is tightly bound to the Association
class (and the #-> selector), so there is no way to subclassify Dictionary
and specify the class of its elements.

Otherwise you could subclassify Dictionary and have its elements to be
instances of "MinipediaLanguage", that is polymorphic with Association but
have language/titles instead of key/value.

I don't see the need for it, though.

Hi,

As some of you may know, I'm a "savage coder" who learned
Smalltalk/Pharo by himself, of course thanks to communities, books and
videos, but without formal training or peers in the same country and
guided mostly by necessity. All this to say that this maybe kind of a
silly question.

Anyway, we have this project called Minipedia[1], that imports Wikipedia
articles and their history. A Minipedia language there, is just a
dictionary, where the key is the language two letters code and the value
for each key is an array of article titles. There is any way to
specialize a Dictionary to tell it, name your 'key' as language and your
'value' as 'titles'?

For the mouse pointer, if you're on Windows, you can have a look at VistaCursor

Metacello new   repository: 'github://astares/Pharo-VistaCursors/src';  
baseline: 'VistaCursors';   load
It has scale factor available in the settings application.
