Pharo 6.0 Released

Re:Pharo 6.0 Released by radarsat1 on Wednesday June 07, 2017 @05:53PM (#14510160)

Oh my problem is not at all with the idea of coding in an image, being able to dynamically change functions, etc. In fact I work that way all the time using emacs and Python. My problem is just being stuck with this annoying graphical environment that wraps it all.

And, I'll add, it's what gives it a feeling of being truly brittle when the whole thing comes crashing down. It's not just your program that dies, but the whole desktop. I'm glad to hear they found and fixed that bug, it was seriously detrimental.

Well, I am coding all day long in that thing and it is stable.

I do not feel stuck but have a few tricks: https://github.com/Pharophile/ExternalTools

(and for the save thing: https://github.com/Pharophile/HOImageSaver)

I like being able to add new features to my own dev environment the way I want. Like with https://github.com/Pharophile/TilingWindowManager

Try that with other tooling. A plugin or two, yeah, but hacking your own development environment from the inside out? That's really awesome I say.
