- analognoise 7y agoPharo's documentation includes 5 FULL BOOKS (http://books.pharo.org/ http://books.pharo.org/) that are open source and free, an ENTIRE MOOC supported by INRIA (which cost ~155k Euro), a world class computer research national lab that is massive in scale and supports some of the finest research in the field. I'm sorry they didn't get to HELLO WORLD in less than 5 clicks though, they must really not care! Glad you took the time to really look for HELLO WORLD in those 5 clicks. Who says Silicon Valley can't solve hard problems?

- seandenigris 7y agoOne click on the "Documentation" tab provides links to several screencasts/tutorials. Are you looking for something specific? "Hello world" doesn't cleanly map to an environment as comprehensive as Pharo because there are so many options. Do you want "hello world" to output to the terminal (Stdio stdout << 'Hello world')? A window? A growl-style popup (UIManager default inform: 'Hello world')? The transcript (Transcript show: 'Hello world')?
- masukomi 7y agoBooks: https://books.pharo.org/ https://books.pharo.org/ Pharo by Example should be a good starting point. Developing in Smalltalk is unlike EVERYTHING else. As noted by seandenigris standard assumptions about things like "hello world" don't apply.
