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

Hi all As part of a recent project I was asked to create a small soundex thingy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundex I told the company that I'd do it but it'd be opensource and I'd give it to the community. They agreed so here it is! You can find it here

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.

[Pharo-users] [ANN] Teapot 0.8 micro web framework

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:

Hi, This algorithm is useful for search. Imagine that you go to a hospital with an urgent problem, people are in a hurry, they need to find you super fast, someone dictates the name and someone else searches for it to find if you have no allergies. In this situation there is no time to think

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 m.magy...@gmail.com:

Hi Attila, This is great work and well documented too. Beautiful. This is an excellent layer on top of Zn. Are there any tests ? Examples ? How do you load your dependencies, like NeoJSON or STON ? If you need anything from Zn that is not yet provided, please ask. I would be happy to help.

Great tool to have. Definitely easier than doing everything in Zn or Seaside REST for getting something done quick. For hackathons, this is quite useful for sure! We should have a lineup of tools like that that allow us to shine during such events in order to promote Pharo.

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
