ProfStef is alright, but I found all the Smalltalk books on the Pharo website as well as a different site that Stefane Duccasse hosts which has old, but mostly relevant books to be more helpful.
Pharo is really cool, but most of my coding use cases is either in scripting (Powershell, Bash, and Python generally make more sense here) or numerical programming (numpy works here and starting to look at Julia...I know there is a numerical methods book written in Pharo, but the ecosystem just isn't there).
Hopefully I'll get a chance to use it in the future.
- jaco8 8y agoYou also might look at https://nim-lang.org/ https://nim-lang.org/ , which is as fast as C or Rust and nicer to code in if you come from Python.
- pull_my_finger 8y agoDoesn't Nim compile to C? Not really the same as being "fast as C"
- dom96 8y agoIn Nim's case it is the same.
- 3rdAccount 8y agoI've used Nim before and have dom96's book below. Good stuff...I tend to sometimes use it when I have a script that needs more speed.
