Pharo recruitment plug: yesplan.be (Belgium) is hiring European Pharo software engineers. If you have little Pharo knowledge that’s fine too, in my (personal) experience, as I am now working with it for 3 months.
More on topic: there are many ways in which Pharo can find things that is not possible (or applicable) in other languages.
For example, there are 4 mouse clicks you can make in your image:
- left click
- right click: it shows a context menu
And then there are two clicks that I would need my laptop for to (re)figure out. One shows a “halo” around a window. The “halo” gives all kinds of options. The other one shows a context menu that allows you to figure out what objects are running with regards to the pixel you clicked on!
Because of the last click, it’s easy-ish to extend your IDE.
The last two clicks are some combination of CMD + Option + CTRL + click

- e12e 4y agoInteresting, from: https://yesplan.be/en/vacancy/full-stack-software-engineer https://yesplan.be/en/vacancy/full-stack-software-engineer > Our backend uses Pharo Smalltalk, Seaside and GemStone/S How is your experience with GemStone/S?
- melvinroest 4y agoFor people that don’t know, GemStone is a smalltalk descendant that has an object-oriented database behind it. I don’t know much about GemStone specifics yet, I am about to though. My skillset before this was mostly in React and Node.
- throwawayForMe2 4y agoI used Gemstone/J for a number of years. This is the version of Gemstone DB for Java applications, same capabilities as the Smalltalk version. If you are familiar with Object Databases you will find it very easy and capable. Before using Gemstone/J with a Java application, I worked in Smalltalk for a number of years building an application backed by a different object database product, so I was already familiar with the advantages and pitfalls of using an OO DB. If you are familiar with using an OO DB, Gemstone is an easy transition.
- em-bee 4y agowould you consider part time, remote?
- melvinroest 4y agoI do remote-ish [1] for 4 days per week. I doubt they will do less days or more remote. [1] I am at the office about every 6 weeks for 2 to 3 days.
