Re: [Pharo-users] Lambda World 2018 - What FP can learn from Smalltalk by Aditya Siram

Re: [Pharo-users] StCAD is open source

Hi: I have been careful to separate the GUI, Geometry, Multibody Dynamics and Math. Only the GUI would need customization for Pharo. The others use pretty generic Smalltalk. I suspect the GUI bits from Jun4Pharo, Woden and Croquet should be sufficient for StCAD port. StCAD uses a bit of Jun and a

[Pharo-users] Can we auto translate Python to Smalltalk?

Python and JavaScript are driving the movement to Dynamic Languages. In particular, Python is the language of choice to teach students programming in universities. So, Smalltalk stands to gain from this shift. We all know that Smalltalk has the best environment. But we lack the diverse code base.
