Die gemeinsamen Frühstücke sind mittlerweile eine Tradition; immer wieder ist mal wer da, der oder die das letze Mal nicht konnte, und es ist schön über Reisen, Hobbys und die neusten Serien zu quasseln.

Einige Menschen sitzen an einem Tisch und frühstücken gemeinsam.

#Smalltalk -80 on #PERQ --- Mario Wolczko's implementation running with maybe some gremlins still to sort out. attn @skeezicsb as usual 🙂

A monochrome graphical display from an old computer workstation. In a large window at the centre of the display, a Smalltalk-80 session can be seen, with a browser window partially occluded by a System Transcript and a System Workspace window.

Hmmm... 🤠

#Smalltalk

Cover of the August 1981 issue of Byte magazine.  A large rainbow hot air balloon with the word Smalltalk emblazoned on it float above an island with a castle on it, in the middle of an ocean of possibilities.

I’d be interested in watching someone develop smalltalk tools in conjunction with LLMs. #smalltalk #pharo

Hello, @pharoproject ! The #DockBrowser (which is for now the name of the experimental #ide) now has an #inspector, a popover that shows the inspection close its inpected object... and of course it can be docked too :)

🌖 Smalltalk-78
➤ Smalltalk-78 互動式程式設計環境的初步設定與功能介紹
smalltalkzoo.thechm.org/users/
這是一個 Smalltalk-78 的互動式環境,允許使用者直接修改程式碼並儲存圖像,但所有更改僅儲存在本地,不會影響伺服器上的其他使用者。使用者可以透過 JavaScript 修改虛擬機器 (VM) 的程式碼,但需謹慎使用,因為這會立即影響其他使用者的體驗。環境提供了一些工具,例如檔案管理、鍵盤幫助、日誌訊息等,並持續加載相關的 JavaScript 模組。
+ 哇,可以在網頁裡直接編輯 Smalltalk 程式碼,這真是太酷了!但本地儲存感覺有點不方便。
+ 這個環境看起來很有潛力,但這麼多日誌訊息,是不是有什麼問題發生了?希望介面可以更簡潔一些。

Dan Banay's #Smalltalk-80 "By the #Bluebook" implementation—tis a product of love!

SOFTWARE ENTRYPY:

#Smalltalk-80—236 classes
Cuis 7.0—675 classes
Squeak 6.0—2832 classes
Pharo 11.0—9986 classes

I miss those simpler days of #computing, back in the late 1970s and the early 1980s, when the #hardware #power was just high enough to do substantive work cheaply, and the #software #entropy was still low enough that one person could grasp almost any codebase in its entirety.

Update on fixes for : I've enabled most missing feats. Moreover, the package seems amenable to seperate outputs, meaning closure size won't be impacted. Also, readline support helps ergonomics a lot.
However, I've struck a snag in fixing the browser: the GTK binds don't build correctly, resulting in missing symbols. Would anyone more well versed in the GNU build system or smalltalk be able to offer some insight? More info in my list post: issues.guix.gnu.org/78070

Both implementations for are broken to different degrees: gnu due to being starved for tooling (emacs repl w/o comint! normal repl w/o readline! and broken gst-browser) and sqeak-vm just not really launching. But I am determined to learn even if it is just a toy lang in modern times, it has that mystique as an even more academic and unprofitable yet fundamental lisp-among-lisps. packaging time again

A quotation from Judith Martin

The stress of making small talk with in-laws is called being part of a family.

This post is over a decade old. Bu it looks from an original angle for viewing what Lisp and Smalltalk have in common and discover the same underlying idea. Recommended.
