[Pharo-users] [ann] gtmondrian

Hi, We are happy to announce GT Mondrian, a graph visualization engine built on top of Bloc. It is similar to the original Mondrian and the Mondrian from Roassal, but it is different in that it is built directly out of Bloc elements. This is interesting because it allows us to combine typical

Re: [Pharo-users] Behold Pharo: The Modern Smalltalk

Nope , nothing to do with Emacs GNU Smalltalk is Smalltalk without welll... Smalltalk Which is why almost none is using it. There is a project to use Pharo from inside Emacs called Shamoo. Frankly you will be sacrificing a lot of IDE goodies leaving Pharo. Neither Emacs or vim are proper IDE

Re: [Pharo-users] Behold Pharo: The Modern Smalltalk

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 bi

[Pharo-users] Simplest 'REPL'

I've recently picked up pharo, and am writing a small interpreter for a trivial language the details of which are unimportant. However I am looking for the simplest way to avoid having to use playground and Transcript to do something like | reader eval | reader := MyReader from: 'some stuff in my

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 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

Re: [Pharo-users] Behold Pharo: The Modern Smalltalk

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

Re: [Pharo-users] HTTP request question for an arango driver

Yann I do not think that connecting a database via a HTTP client can be as fast as with a FFI or other means. This is mainly why database like Gemstone are superior for accessing a lot of data. Stef On Fri, Dec 8, 2017 at 4:32 PM, Yann Lesage wrote: > Hello, > > > I write an driver for Arangodb .

Thanks to all your feedback, the Pharo Quick Start guide gets better and better. Now, the reader will *really* see how easy Pharo is by the end of the second section. The rest of the guide deals with the System Browser. I'm very happy about this because I keep hearing crapola from JavaScript devel

Hello, I write an driver for Arangodb . So like it's indicated in Arango documentation, I use the HTTP API.  The repo is https://github.com/Valtena/Pharango Now, the problem : Arango using Znclient make around 1 000 requests/second. And the question : Are there any recommended pratice to

Maybe the core of the suggestion is start with the Playground and then go to the code browser, that's my workflow coming from other languages like Python and Scheme, and having the playground to emulate REPL before going to code browser has been really refreshing and also "going from scripting to o

Re: [Pharo-users] Behold Pharo: The Modern Smalltalk

Now that’s what I call a great way to promote something. Excellent work, short to the point. In the future you could combine small code snippets together with the rest of your arguments for explaining the awesomeness of Pharo. Apple does this very well and in similar style to what you have done he
