Did you try GNU Smalltalk (http://smalltalk.gnu.org/ http://smalltalk.gnu.org/)? It's a command-line smalltalk that interfaces well with unix. I find it simpler

Did you try GNU Smalltalk (http://smalltalk.gnu.org/ http://smalltalk.gnu.org/)? It's a command-line smalltalk that interfaces well with unix. I find it simpler to grasp than seaside because there are less things to understand at the same time.
- paulgb 17y agoThanks, I did briefly switch from Pharo to GNU Smalltalk and then back. I don't remember what my reasoning was, so maybe GNU Smalltalk deserves another look.
- rufugee 17y agoDon't you mean "simpler to grasp than Squeak"? I doubt Seaside and GNU Smalltalk have much in common...one being a framework and the other a smalltalk environment. What I'd be more curious about is whether GNU Smalltalk can run Seaside...
- avibryant 17y agoIt can, as of the recent releases.
- paulgb 17y agoAvi, do you use Pharo as your main development environment?
- spooneybarger 17y agognu smalltalk can run seaside but it tends to lag behind pharo as pharo is the target platform ( gemstone, cincom et al also lag behind to some degree ).

- spooneybarger 17y agoonce you dont have all the nice smalltalk tools which gnu smalltalk is still lacking a number of right now, you basically have something that is rather like ruby without anywhere near as many libraries.
