UK Smalltalk User Group Meeting - 22 February 2023

by Giovanni Corriga

WebAssembly (WASM - https://wikiwand.com/en/Webassembly ) is an instruction format for portable high-performance code, run by a stack-based virtual machine. To Smalltalkers, this sounds very familiar. WASM is supported by the three most popular web browsers, and by other host platforms as well. Perhaps we can translate certain Smalltalk compiled methods to WASM, augmenting our support for physical processors and for livecoding the Web. For our February meeting, Craig Latta will describe his initial experiments, using the Epigram compilation framework ( https://thiscontext.com/epigram ). Craig Latta ( https://thiscontext.com/ ) is a research computer scientist in Berkeley and Amsterdam, with interests including livecoding, music performance, and interactive visualization. The discovery of a mysteriously-placed copy of the Blue Book at university led to stints at several exploratory labs, and a pursuit of improvisation wherever code is found. 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 ( https://www.meetup.com/ukstug/events/291365015/ ) to receive the meeting details.

Now gone to guy who originally paid for them - Smalltalk books for sale

by Steve Edwards

Hi, Thanks for your interest in these books. Giovanni was the original guy who paid for them back in 2019, but there was that delivery problem I mentioned previously. I've since been in touch with Giovanni, and the books have now been posted to him. Hope others not too disappointed!
