Hi guys,
Just to keep you informed. Tomorrow we will use Moose on Pharo1.1core to assess some dependencies
between packages. We already did that in the past and cut some obvious dependencies. We will redo one
step with Jannik and Marcus. We will probably redo a couple of sessions. The goal is to identify evil cyclic dependencies
and fix them. The tool of jannik is good for that and we applied it on Morphic now we want to apply it on
pharo.
In the past we fixed some problems and identified missing infrastructural elements. For example
the lack of a registration mechanism for the main menu. Now the fact that Setting is cool will also
reduce some problems we saw before. This will raise the question of the usage of services too.
Because Services are a registration mechanism.
Some of you may have noticed that Andreas was successful to remove some packages from Squeak.
It should be noted that a lot of these packages are already unloadable in Pharo :)
The reorganization also in Test was already done in pharo. Lot of the changes happening in Squeak now
(except some of the speed improvements) has already been done some time ago in Pharo.
So this is nice to see that our vision was right.
During a couple of years we pushed to get a smaller/cleaner system in Squeak and this is happening.
So this is nice to see that we are right even if most people will not recognize or remember it :)
Stef (going swimming in this cold winter).
