UK Smalltalk User Group Meeting - Wednesday, March 30th

by Giovanni Corriga

The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be held on Wednesday, March 30th 2022. Come to hear news about Glamorous Toolkit, the moldable development environment. We were busy over the past year: beside everything else, GT also became a multi-language notebook + programmable knowledge management platform. By this we unify the flows of programming, data science and knowledge management. And there might be a couple of other surprises, too. Tudor Gîrba is a software environmentalist and CEO of feenk.com where he works with an amazing team to make the inside of systems explainable. Much of the work is embodied in Glamorous Toolkit (gtoolkit.com) a novel environment that enables Moldable Development. This will be an online meeting from home. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page to receive the meeting details. Don’t forget to bring your laptop and drinks!

Hi James, I am not aware that I override any system methods. That would change the behavior of the base system and that is not ok. I do extend system classes though.

[PDFtalk] Porting to non-namespace Smalltalks

by christian.haider＠smalltalked-visuals.com

Hi all, PDFtalk is a PDF library for VisualWorks[1]. The library has been ported successfully to Gemstone[2]. Now, there is interest from companies in a port to Squeak and VA Smalltalk. The project[3] has started and we are making good progress. The first step: porting the Values package. This is easy, because there are no namespace issues. The next step is to implement class renamings so that namespaced classes can be renamed to global prefixed names. Then PDFtalk with all its components, except for the UI, can be ported. The porting approach is different to the traditional way of loading and fixing. The import files for other Smalltalks are generated from VisualWorks where the code is transformed by declarative rules. The approach is documented in [4]. I set up a GitHub organization for this project[5]. There, the fileouts for each dialect are published (Gemstone, Squeak and VA Smalltalk so far), so that people without VisualWorks can work with the code in their Smalltalk. Also, I record and explain all steps of the porting process for Squeak in great detail[6], so that people can follow it. I would like to invite Smalltalkers from all dialects to take part in this project. The code transformations for Squeak will be quite similar to the ones needed for Pharo and Cuis. Therefore, each port to one Smalltalk will help the port to other Smalltalks. Any takers?
