Object-centric breakpoint experiment during ESUG'24
by Steven Costiou July 5, 2024

July 5, 2024

Dear community, First, I would like to thanks again all the participants to our experiment with object-centric breakpoints in Pharo. Many people participated, and we plan to present our results in an informal manner at ESUG. However, from the scientifical point of view it would strenghten our analysis if we had more participants. The more participants we have, the more we can trust our results and take enlightened decisions about how to further develop the object-centric debugger. Therefore, the experiment remains open until July 10th (included). If you're interested you can still do it, the instructions are here https://github.com/Pharo-XP-Tools/XPImageGeneration/tree/exp-ocd Many people also declined to participate because of a lack of time, which we totally understand. This is why we also propose to you, if time is an issue, to participate to the experiment during the first days of esug. We can find a calm room in which we can supervise the experiment and collect your data (reminder: once in our server the data is anonymized). Please let us know if you would be potentially interested to participate in such setting during ESUG. Thanks in advance, Steven and Valentin, EVREF team.

DATE CORRECTION - UKSTUG Meeting - Javier Pimas -- Live Metacircular Runtimes: The case of Egg Smalltalk - 29 May 2024
by UK Smalltalk May 22, 2024

May 22, 2024

Egg is a new Smalltalk dialect that was designed from scratch to incorporate some interesting features: A module system with namespaces that replaces the old-good Smalltalk global. Dynamic identifiers, which are bound lazily similarly to how methods are lazily bound. A multi-VM architecture, with different VM implementations written in C++, Pharo, JavaScript and Egg. The Egg-in-Egg VM is special in that the VM component is just another module of the system, creating what we have named Live Metacircular Runtimes (LMRs) [1]. The most interesting characteristic of LMRs in Smalltalk is that they can be developed using standard Smalltalk tools, which shorten feedback loops when doing VM development. During the talk I'll show a little bit about Egg and its LMR, and how not only VM developers get more productive when writing VMs, but also application developers can better understand what the VM does behind the scenes. [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.16973 - Live Objects All The Way Down: Removing the Barriers between Applications and Virtual Machines Javier Pimas is a fan of high-level low-level programming. He has been successfully mixing Smalltalk and assembly code for more than a decade. Within Bee Smalltalk, SqueakNOS and now Egg Smalltalk projects he has been trying to make live-programming of system-level concerns more practical to application programmers. Javier works for Labware and Quorum Software, where he applies his expertise to real-world challenges while pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at Buenos Aires University. 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/300511322/ ) to receive the meeting details. Don’t forget to bring your laptop and drinks!
