   Any big company with that kind of money and connections can bring pretty much anything into the mainstream, not a big merit IMHO...

   Same here, Chrome on Debian. Backspace and ESC not working, so after I enter a mode I'm stuck in it forever.

   I like it, my local Trello! :) Just one small suggestion, it'd be nice if columns were draggable as well.

    What kind of pods are these? I think you should specify which coffee machine do they work with :)

    All Smalltalk ones are valid code that will be executed though. #ifFalse: is a message that is sent to a boolean and takes a closure as an argument.

    These stupid scenarios are direct consequences of software patents. I remember an article that used Haskell to show how absurd software patents are by showing how any piece of software is actually just a mathematical formula that turns some

    Unless you're used to the Smalltalk way, you'd never think serializing the debugging context of a running program would have any use at all. I'd never had dreamed it'd be possible to do what I do regularly in my deployed

    You forgot Iliad: automagic AJAX, plus clean and short codebase you can read and understand in under a day (vs. thousands of packages in Seaside). There is of course a downside: a really tiny community... took me a while to get used to the

    This is valid Smalltalk code, but not the way you'd program a door in Smalltalk. You'd probably prototype this in a Workspace, then create the method suggested above, which would force you to specify keys for the arguments, thus f

    True, they're partially image-based. In all I haven't seen ST implementation with good development tools that is not at least partially image based. But what about Amber?

    by bromagosa 13y ago

    But only by leaving the image model behind. There are many Smalltalks without an image actually... GNU-Smalltalk, Smalltalk/X and Amber, for instance. GemStone/S uses a mixture between image and filesystem, so it can'

    Correct. Although Smalltalk is generally regarded as the first one because the concept "object orientation" was first used in it. Still, the big thing in Smalltalk are not objects, but messages. That's something many later OO

    Yep. AidaWeb and Iliad (plus many other smaller ones). Although Iliad is not about generating clean URLs (it can, though), but more about being small and understandable, plus having Ajax for free and being pragmatic.
