no smalltalk around is “smalltalk”, technically they are all dialects and Pharo is just one dialect more. smalltalk-80 itself does not exist since… well, smalltalk-80 :) so no, your code would not be directly portable to other smalltalks (with the possible exception of gemstone). Esteban On

well, this is weird :) the error you have is usually because you have something like this: myMethod: aParameter … aParameter := something. … (same can happen with blocks). you cannot assign a parameter… and compiler protests if you try. but I wander how you could

I don’t know what technical incompatibilities may exist, but for many practicalities Pharo is compatible with Squeak and other dialects. I am using an application (Todd Blanchard’s HTMCSS parser and validator) which was originally written for Squeak. Some years ago I ported it to Dolphin
