Cuis [1] is a simplified fork of Squeak, trying to make it more closely resemble the original Smalltalk-80 (while using a custom version of Morphic). Squeak itself initially tried to not be bound by Smalltalk-80 heritage. Now, it focuses on

This is a complex issue. In fact, you can work with Pharo in a Unix-like manner. Use an external editor to modify the source code and run the image without any GUI. However, by doing so, you lose the most interesting and enriching aspects o

I can only compare it with Abersoft Forth on ZX Spectrum. While I admire the Forth implementation in Jupiter Ace a lot, it lacks a lot of basic words. Users can often find them implemented in the manual, but they are not immediately availab

There are even languages that can do more crazy things than CL or Smalltalk. For example, in Sinclair BASIC, if you put a breakpoint at some position on the line, you can even modify the rest of the line and continue with execution from the

In Pharo or Squeak, you can just send the "return:" message to any context (except contexts that have nowhere to return).

Right. I should have emphasized it more. But it is the closest thing people can try now without violating copyright laws. Genera has an advanced command system and tools like Document Examiner, but the general experience is very close.

If you want to try the system, look at CADR: https://tumbleweed.nu/r/bug-lispm/forumpost/7475d8a3dbb56a1a I highly recommend do update the Fossil repository and load the patches, because they fix some mouse p

In Pharo Launcher, go to "VMs" and try to delete the VM. Pharo should work on Windows just fine. If not, please, report it on the issue tracker with more details. > BTW, Smalltalk/X has a fully functional REPL, including c

The ability to change the identity of objects is not really used in normal code, so it is pointless to complain about it as bad practice. But it may be handy during debugging sessions, and it is an essential feature that allows the system t

Pharo source management is based on Git, so the workflow is not special. We build the development images on the CI so every developer can download the already prepared image with the latest commits, but that is just for convenience.

Consider playing with Pharo [1], it shows how it can still use Git to store sources in background. There is LivelyKernel [2] but some versions are more file-oriented (like Lively 4 [3]) [1] https://pharo.org/ [2] https:&#x
