   The message send is actually an object in Smalltalk. So, in process, out of process, to another box, this shouldn't matter. For performance reasons, all kinds of optimizations are present. In Pharo (http:/pharo.org), which is &quo

   FreePascal has indeed a lot of good stuff. I wrote a ton of Pascal a long time ago and always liked OWL for Windows development. Compared to MFC, well, that was much better to they eye. The main issue to wider adoption is that there are lot

   Alan, What do you think of the Pharo project?

    Worth learning. Not so easy to do I am afraid. Nock is very nice. Hoon bends the mind, which is actually a nice thing. This whole thing bends my mind anyway. A good option for avoiding Alzheimer by training those neurons... interesting inte

    Blitz3D is Free and Open Source too. And Monkey-X is mostly Open Source. Soon to be fully Open Source after MX2 is out ( http://www.monkey-x.com/Community/topics.php?forum=230 ) http://monkey-x.com

    The importance of habits appears essential in order to maximize the available coding time. The modular food idea in one of the replies is indeed a great one that I do apply. Getting enough quality sleep is a must, especially when learning n

    Indeed. Love it! As usual: Step 1: metric is used to indicate performance Step 2: developer finds a way to hack the metric Step 3: developer profit Step 4: metric now considered unusable LOCs, #of issues fixed, ... all in the same bag.

    Because with the other music it doesn't happen. Their price point is insignificant and is not doing a placebo effect. Some channels do nothing, and bother me. Uptempo High Intensity is what works best.

    Some kicks in the assets and firing bad apples also go a long way in keeping the team focused. Some people are self motivated and other needs their slap in the morning (for some, that's a couple of times daily).

    Some structure needed indeed. And adjusted to the complexity of the endeavor at hand. Experience needed (read: got fucked before, now can avoid the treacherous waters and apply effort where and when meaningful). Ability to deal with herding

    There is more than meets the eye in OO. First, most languages aren't doing OO the way it was described by Alan Kay who coined the term. What we have are data structures with procedures that invoke other procedures in data structures. T

    The best part of Pharo is that you get everything from the ground up: VM code, image objects, tools, all is accessible and can be shaped to one's will. Try to do that with Eclipse or IntelliJ's tools! This is making one reach an u

    I earn my bread with Pharo Smalltalk. And I use all the modern trappings: CI with Jenkins Source versioned in Github Unit tests Used to use Java, C, C++, PHP, and some Tcl/Tk. Smalltalk is above all of these in terms of pleasure of cod

    Kind of, but in the 3.x series, please note that continuations are now completely optional. As continuations are quite memory heavy, the new way allows for lighter sessions.

    The spirit of this lives here: http://seaside.st/about And it is an awesome framework. ReactJs is going the same kind of components based thing these days. Nothing so new, except for where the component is running...
