Alan Kay: Extracting energy from the Turing Tarpit

Webcasts from the ACM Turing event. One is a presentation from Alan Kay named "Extracting energy from the Turing Tarpet". Alan uses the Frank system (remember Frankenstein monster) which is based on Squeak Smalltalk. As ever a very interesting presentation. Hope to find the time to watch also the others.

If you want to find it on the page click into the playlist in the video and scroll down to Alans talk.

Softwarenaut

Softwarenaut is an interactive visualization tool for understanding software systems. It was originally written in VisualWorks. Looks like it is also ported to Pharo.

GNU Smalltalk on Android

I already reported that Pharo/Squeak Smalltalk is able to run on Android using CogDroid project.
Hilaire used this to implement his DrGeo for Android which is available in the Google Market.

Now Stefan crosscompiled GNU Smalltalk to Android. A binding to Android APIs is still missing - but it basically runs. The source is on GitHub if you want to help.

Voyage - persisting objects

Voyage is another approach in the Smalltalk/Pharo world to persist object models. It was written by Esteban Lorenzano, I think mainly with the goal to persist data from Pier (the CMS system) images.

You will find his slides from the Pharo 2012 conference here. Francois Stephany is a beta tester and is already blogging how to use Voyage in conjunction with MongoDB.

The code can be found in the Voyage project at smalltalkhub.
