OpenSSL for Pharo on Windows

OpenSSL-Pharo now works on Windows. Tested on Windows 10 with a fresh 32-bit Pharo 6.1 zip package downloaded from pharo.org. On Windows this library uses libeay.dll which is bundled with the Pharo VM. Read more here.

StarfallNight

A little game implemented using Bloc in Pharo 6.1. 3 jewels drop from the top.


You can move it left and right by left arrow key and right arrow key respectively. You can rotate the order of the jewels by the up arrow key. The down arrow key will drop the jewels on-to the floor. If the pile of the jewels stack on the floor have 3 or more of the same kind of jewels in a row, column or diagonal, they will vanish out and the jewels on the vanished one will fall down to the floor (or another jewel), which may cause another vanish of jewels.

This game was implemented to learn how to use Bloc. The source code is available at github https://github.com/tomooda/StarfallNight/

Smalltalk ENVY

Nice - this blog post brings back some memories on ENVY - a Smalltalk source code management system. I used ENVY in the past too and still have a signed copy of the book "Mastering ENVY/Developer" in my bookshelf

And yes - after coding in VisualAge for Smalltalk I also used VisualAge for Java which was really a nice tool for that time - it lowered the Java pain. Because at that time most Java people coded in editors like Notepad while VisualAge for Java was a full IDE with Browser, Debugger and all. It was built on top of the Smalltalk version like most of the members of the VisualAge family

Tonel

Tonel is a file-per-class format for monticello repositories. It allows to store the class definition and methods in a single file. The idea is to use this for a more performant git support in Pharo (as currently a file per method is used). Code is in https://github.com/pharo-vcs/tonel

Updated Pharo Launcher

According to Peter the updated Pharo Launcher automatically downloads the proper VM. No more VM juggling.

First-class undefined classes for Pharo

Lets assume a class A requires a class B which is defined in a different package than class A.

If you defined the wrong load order of packages (so you load the package with A before the package with B) you might easily hit the problem of "Undefined classes".

Pharo will now address this issue better by having first class entities representing missing (or yet undefined) classes. It is already planned for Pharo 7.

Here are the slides from ESUG 2017 on this topic to give you more informations.

Things people built with Smalltalk

Juan Vuletich from Cuis Smalltalk is working at Satellogic company (Buenos Aires).  Back in 2013 the company launched "Captain Beto" (a.k.a. CubeBug-1), the first Argentine CubeSat.

Now as one of the earth-observing companies who push for more-advanced science satellites they were mentioned also in this article from nature.com. Nice.

Juan helped design and build the hyperspectral cameras in satellites Fresco and Batata. And he wrote the geometric and spectral processing software. The geometric software (image rectification and correction), the most complex part of the processing, was written by him in Cuis Smalltalk, and runs in a Cuis Smalltalk + OpenCL application.

Always interesting to see where Smalltalk is used and what kind of things people built with the help of Smalltalk

Real PharoNOS

A few years back there was a Squeak project called "SqueakNOS" about a Squeak Smalltalk system that did not require an underlying operating system. The idea was that you can boot into the Smalltalk image without an underlying separate OS. So that means that nearly anything is based on/implemented in Smalltalk (drivers, etc) and Smalltalk becomes the OS itself. I was fascinated by this idea when an initial SqueakNOS system was available and if you follow my blog regulary you may remember that I also reported about it's resurrection in 2006.

For Pharo Smalltalk later there was a similar project (at least with a similar name and idea) called "PharoNOS" by Mike Filonov (from pharocloud.com) to boot a Pharo system in seconds. Mike provided an ISO that you could easily boot on a machine or in a virtual environment like VirtualBox or other.
 
But Mikes approach was not like the original "do it all in Smalltalk" project for Squeak as his "PharoNOS" variant used a TinyCore Linux with pure X server underneath and Pharo was running on top in fullscreen. Nonetheless I liked it too as I was able to boot a Pharo in seconds now without having to install a separate operating system. Nice for kiosk systems and others.


But meanwhile also the original SqueakNOS (the Squeak system with no operating system) was ported to Pharo as "PharoNOS" and you can really have a "Pharo with No Operating System": Read more if you are interested as it was announced this week.

While all this is primarily x86 based work one could think about an ARM solution. Some pieces are already there: remember that Pharo had NativeBoost allowing to generate and run machine code in Smalltalk.

For the general Pharo release Native Boost required lots of knowledge and was hard to maintain as a general FFI interface - so it was replaced by a unified solution already (UFFI) in Pharo 5.

But NativeBoost was based on AsmJIT for Pharo which if I remember correctly already had some support for ARM assembly. So maybe this work could be resurrected too and be used as a base to boot a Pharo on an ARM machine without any OS underneath. So let the ideas flow...

Pharo success story: Driving ATMs in Moscow streets

Another success story of Pharo: from 2008 to 2015 ATMs (Automated Teller Machine) deployed in Moscow streets were developed and run using Pharo. As the bank is now closed for other reasons it is now possible to talk about used technologies in public.

This reminds that is not unusal that the use of Smalltalk is kept as a secret or stay hidden behind the scenes. The development productivity in Smalltalk is much higher than in other more mainstream languages and with a dynamic and flexible environment once can quickly react to business changes.

This gives a competive advantage and some business dont want to give too much info to their competitors. Smalltalk is often driving mission critical software - business dont want to tell too much about such software.

And for this special example with ATM machines I guess it would not make much sense to tell potential hackers in advance what software the machine runs...

Update: there are videos available
