> #Scheme on top of #PreScheme
Ah, you are a minimalist that way. Sort of what #Squeak #Smalltalk does with its VM development (based on C). I'd want the high-level language to do heavy-lifting, so maybe #LispFlavouredErlang on top of PreScheme.

> OS in PreScheme and Scheme
GNU Mes and #Guix must be on that track.

Fascinating chat about #smalltalk and its origins and modern use. I love the concept, and as a former user of #squeak I'm interested in learning more about it.

@alvarmaciel would you know how to modify the clock in #Squeak or #Cuis #Smalltalk to not show seconds?

Felipe Kinoshita

started looking into squeak/smalltalk and it's just amazing!
there's this tool called method finder which let's you type in arguments and what you expect them to produce and it lists you all possible methods that could have produced the result.

@draft13 lots of knowledgable replies. I haven't, but would like to, use #Squeak or #CuisSmalltalk as a productivity environment, as it was intended.

Separately, for a programming language, I am dabbling in #Prolog for the data centricity and the reduction in code that is possible.

@krono I need to open up a TLS socket in #squeak, what's the current state of the art to do so?

So what if Light was a mouse?

This has been in my telegram channel for a while but I figured I'd share it here.

Makes the free donuts for jabs program kind of funny?

@khinsen seeing your boost made me do a quick search for #smalltalk mobile development, and while at first glance it doesn't seem like #Pharo has a story worked out there, I found a blog about #Squeak mobile experimentation eighty-twenty.org/2021/04/20/o

FWP: I recently had two side-by-side cavities filled and now when I chew I hear an infernal squeaking when my teeth rub together. It's that or because I took away the world's greatest fry cook's favorite boots and buried them under the floorboards

Smalltalk пока что для боевого применения плохо годится.

Squeak/Pharo нестабильны и медлительны, VisualWorks Smalltalk стабилен и быстр, но стоит денег. А Cincom не работает с Россией в свете текущих событий. Есть ещё GNU Smalltalk, но коммерческая разработка вроде как запрещена на нём. Есть американская VisualAge Smalltalk, но она платная и возможно сильно устаревшая. Есть Smalltalk/X - вроде как немецкая разработка, тоже платная и, при этом, пощупать среду разработки бесплатно не дают. Есть Smalltalk MT - но он для разработки игр и под винду.

Может быть, Squeak/Pharo на GraalVM будут быстры и стабильны. Но я не знаю, не щупал.

@Conornash That's interesting!
I did a complete round trip:
Started with Smalltalk/V for MDOS in the late 80s. Used the same #Smalltalk on Windows and OS/2 in the early 90s. Used C++ for the rest of that decade. Then switched to #Python as a substitute for Smalltalk. Used #Squeak and #Pharo for private projects. Finally came back to #Cuis around 2015. After some discussion I started my own Cuis-based Smalltalk called #Haver​.

What does an immersive #morphic look like? What would you build with it? #smalltalk #squeak #pharo #cuis

I’m now writing the main instruction dispatch loop for a #squeak virtual machine in #webassembly.
