Webminar about VA Smalltalk new OS Process Framework
by Mariano Martinez Peck July 10, 2020

July 10, 2020

Greetings all, Some time ago, I had the pleasure and privilege of being sponsored by the Pharo Consortium to implement OSSubprocess. Because of that work, I quickly realized that a new OS process framework created by Instantiations was quite advanced and unlike anything I had seen before. If you are able, I would highly recommend that you attend the technology preview of this framework coming to VAST 2021: Seth Berman will be presenting, registration here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7491754880594201356 We hope the community can attend and we look forward to your feedback and questions during the event's Q&A session.

Re: [Esug-list] [Pharo-users] [Pharo-dev] [ANN] PharoPro

A bit late to the party, but I still wanted to congratulate everyone involved and wish you all the best. I said (but didn't do) many times in the past that having a LTS version would be really good. So I hope you can make it. Also, thanks for the FAQ entry comparing with the Consortium, as that was my immediate question hhahaha.

[ANN] TruffleSqueak 20.1.0 released
by Fabio Niephaus June 22, 2020

June 22, 2020

Hi all, I'd like to officially announce the first stable release of TruffleSqueak [1], a Squeak/Smalltalk VM and Polyglot Programming Environment for the GraalVM [2]. As some of you know, we at HPI [3] have been working on this for quite a while and open-sourced it a few weeks after our presentation at ESUG'19 [4]. The virtual machine is implemented in Truffle [5], GraalVM's Java-based language implementation framework. The image has direct access to GraalVM's language interoperability protocol [6] and based on this, we have adapted the workspace and inspection tools so that they work consistently for objects from Javascript, Python, R, Ruby, and all other languages supported by GraalVM. In addition, the image comes with our polyglot notebook system [7] and a polyglot code editor [8]. You may also find our paper on TruffleSqueak (formerly GraalSqueak) [9] and our blog post on "Smalltalk with the GraalVM" [10] an interesting read. Nonetheless, please keep in mind that TruffleSqueak is a research project, so there will be bugs (please report them at [11]) and things left to do (feedback is welcome!). You can follow TruffleSqueak on Twitter [12] for more updates. On June 24, I'm also going to talk about TruffleSqueak in the UK Smalltalk User Group meeting [13], and you are invited to join us. Lastly, I’d like to thank everyone who has contributed to TruffleSqueak and I'm excited to see what you’re going to do with it.

[ANN] PharoPro
by Norbert Hartl June 17, 2020

June 17, 2020

Dear community, we are very proud to announce the availability of PharoPro, a company that offers professional support for the pharo platform. Our mission is to enable people and companies to secure their business when building products with pharo. We have been tinkering with the idea creating it for a long time. We talked to a lot of people, especially at last ESUG in cologne and finally decided to do it. So at the end of last year we founded the company PharoPro. Obstacles (one being covid-19) kept us from make it public until today. In close relationship with the pharo consortium our mission is to extend the market opportunities for pharo. Although PharoPro is new and still small we want to show our commitment to the consortium and the community from the start. We decided therefor that PharoPro will join the pharo consortium as platinum member. Our plans apart from support contracts is to have an LTS (long term support) version of pharo, create a professional pharo ecosystem with libraries and frameworks and to help out building the infrastructure pharo needs. We are still shaping up. We want to know your requirements and needs that help us deciding what are the most needed things. So you might visit http://pharo-pro.com and then come talk to us. Best regards and health, Norbert PharoPro GmbH

UK Smalltalk User Group Meeting - Wednesday, June 24th
by Giovanni Corriga June 8, 2020

June 8, 2020

The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Wednesday, June 24th. Fabio Niephaus (https://fniephaus.com) will talk to us about TruffleSqueak ( https://github.com/hpi-swa/trufflesqueak) a Squeak/Smalltalk VM and Polyglot Programming Environment for the GraalVM (https://www.graalvm.org) He is a Ph.D. student within the Software Architecture Group ( https://hpi.de/swa) at the Hasso Plattner Institute, University of Potsdam, Germany. He has strong interests in dynamic programming languages, virtual execution environments, and software development tools. Fabio will talk about the motivation for his research in the field of Polyglot Programming. With a live demo, he will show how TruffleSqueak can be used as a polyglot IDE for other languages such as Java, Javascript, Python, R, or Ruby. He will also introduce us to the GraalVM ecosystem and discuss his experience in writing a Smalltalk VM in Truffle, GraalVM's language implementation framework. Given the current COVID-19 restrictions, this will be an online meeting. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance at the meeting Meetup's page https://www.meetup.com/UKSTUG/events/cbklbrybcjbgc/ to obtain the meeting details. See you there!
