Aren't we all Smalltalkers?
 
|
Bonjour Serge,
-- I read all the nonsense about the new name for the SciSmalltalk library on various mailing lists. I even gave my opinion. I don't care about the name. But it seems, between the lines, that this fantastic library from Didier H. Besset (and you and all collaborators) is moving towards a Pharo-centric direction. I think it would be a really *big mistake* and *big loss* for Smalltalkers if that's the case ! If a thing like Glorp can be dialect-friendly, why can't we do the same thing for SciSmalltalk ?

Why should we have the burden to maintain it for other dialects?
Then we do not make it divergent for the sake of it. Stef

Hi,
The mistake would have been to leave the library in the book with nobody caring about it. Now, someone took the energy to revive it and create a sustainable project around it. The choice should remain with those people that want to invest energy. If others want to invest energy to load it in other places, that effort will likely be welcome. Please, let’s move on.

And those guys are Didier H. Besset and Serge Stinckwich.. Why don't we just let them decide! It all started by a great book. Not a Pharo book or thing, a math & Smalltalk book. Let them decide! Is it gonna be a "Pharo-only" thing or a Smalltalk thing? ----------------- Benoît St-Jean Yahoo!

Sorry guys, I will not spend time and energy about discussing what is Pharo or what should be Pharo ... For me "Pharo is yours". It means we are a community of doers (or makers). BTW, I'm using Pharo everyday for my work and I'm naturally biased towards Pharo. In the ConfigurationOfSciSmalltalk, there is spec for Squeak, but I'm not sure our library is still working with recent Squeak versions. There is no CI for Squeak also. If you have time, please push commits to the code repository in order to correct this. I don't have time to invest in others Smalltalks but feel free to do it. There are plenty of tasks to do : add more documentation, add issues in the issue tracker: https://github.com/SergeStinckwich/SciSmalltalk/issues ,clean the packages organization, etc ... Thank you.

Serge, if Squeak, Dolphin, VAST, VW, OS, Amber and others cannot participate in the race, f*ck them! But all I'm saying is "let's run the same race" ! Can we, ***at least*** make an effort to make SciSmalltalk portable ?!?! Those who don't care will die. ----------------- Benoît St-Jean Yahoo!

Hi Stéphane & Serge & all, All I'm trying to say is that I get the impression that the SciSmalltalk (or whatever other name it'll have) library is heading towards Pharo-centric code. The first version of DHB Numerical methods was for VisualAge and Didier did a great job at keeping the code as portable as he could. In fact, in most early ports, you barely had to change one line of code! I can easily understand that there are occasions when portability cannot be achieved : GUI stuff is a clear example. Math stuff (the number crunching part, not Roassal or all the nice data visualization tools Pharo has or that it will add to this library) shouldn't be such a burden to be made portable. If Glorp could do it with external interfaces, network stuff, different datatypes, different client interfaces, various SQL syntax, different behavior on different platforms, etc, why shouldn't we be able to do a *minimal* effort to make this wonderful library dialect-friendly? I'm not saying Pharoers should have the responsibility to maintain 5 different versions of SciSmalltalk for all other Smalltalk dialects! All I'm saying is that, whenever possible, could we pick the dialect-neutral version of code instead of deliberately pick something Pharo-specific? And if that's a given and understood by everyone, the library could get some help from people coding in Dolphin, Squeak, VisualAge, VisualWorks, ObjectStudio & others. We would all benefit from this if we'd work together and agree upon one thing : keep the code as portable as possible. ----------------- Benoît St-Jean Yahoo!
