You're certainly not going to have much luck using Smalltalk for prototyping novel image processing algorithms.
- jrockway 19y agoSorry about that, I accidentally downmodded you. I guess there is no undo here. (I modded up some of your other comments to make up for the karma loss. But it sucks that I can't just undo it :( )
- Jesin 19y agoYes, really. Undo probably wouldn't be too hard to implement (this already keeps track of who has voted on what), and it would be a helpful feature. Why can't we undo upmods/downmods?
- icey 19y agoI added a "free" upmod (i.e. one I wouldn't have otherwise given) just to undo your mistaken downvote jrockway.
- pc 19y agoIt doesn't talk to the rest of the world the way you're used to. Well, it can now -- we ported Thrift to Smalltalk for Auctomatic, so that we can easily interoperate with code written in other languages.

- avibryant 19y agoThere are image processing algorithms and then there are image processing algorithms, but: we do some very simple image processing in Dabble DB and were surprised by how much library support Squeak had for it. http://blog.dabbledb.com/2007/04/white--or-green.html http://blog.dabbledb.com/2007/04/white--or-green.html
- zemariamm 19y agoPretty neat! Actually image processing was just an example. I just don't want to be caught inside a system were I'll have to spend a lot of time implementing stuff already granted for free in other frameworks (I'm short in time :D ).
