  1. In case you were wondering, Squeak still exists (and works fine on the MacBook Neo).

    I really like the chinese zodiac. The year of the 'fire horse' is amazing inspiration for ridable balloon sculptures.

  3. @david_chisnall @blinry it wasn't just the code. With the #Squeak inspector, it was possible to navigate the object hierarchy to find AND optionally CHANGE ANY PROPERTY DYNAMICALLY in in situ. That was like having configuration super powers! 💪

    I also loved that it was possible to rotate any window by an arbitrary angle. Windows could also be other shapes, like blobs. Who need things to be rectilinear 🤣

  4. Mice-infested cheese shop in south London is hit with a £75,000 fine after inspectors found droppings and nibbled ham. 🐁 🧀

  5. I haven't been active in #Smalltalk in several years. I have some great use cases that i want to start implementing, but I kinda want to get up to speed on what's happened in my absence.

    So, I am taking a quick poll to see which #smalltalk everyone is using these days. #Pharo or #Squeak ?

  6. Twenty something years later, and I am still dreaming of the day when I can write in #Smalltalk as a full time day job, instead of using it as my secret productivity tool.

    Years ago, for very short period of time, I had ever explored Squeak (or Pharo, forget which one) for fun.

    I was amazed that a programming language provides something similar with desktop environment and all things related with the programming language, including the tools are living inside the environment.

    At the time, suddenly I remember Lisp Machine, GNU Emacs and Gnustep + Window Maker at the same time.

    Although of course I realized these all are different.

    Twisted a head for my balloon horse for a propper ride. What do you think? 🏇 😅

  9. If all #smalltalk / #squeak programs are written in their own VM combo of IDE and operating system, how do you ship #software you write to other users? Do you have to ship your entire image or can you export just the methods/objects you need for your program?

    Photos from this week did not turn out well - I might try again during the week. So here is one from last weekend. Happy late #squeakysaturday (#squeakysunday ?). Anyway, the ballon's original color is green, but this time I subtracted the tone during the b&w conversion leaving it almost entirely black.

    This green WB28 is at its 5th inflation and more approaching 30" than 28". In the second image (b/w) it is tightly inflated and still carrying my 65kg with ease, even when bouncing.

    Made another balloon comic today. Because it's fun :D - Enjoy.

    Trying something a little different today. Have a nice #squeakysaturday and always be nice to your balloons.

    I really like how this image turned out. The colored version is a bit boring, but the subtle split-toning makes it much more interesting.
    The ride was super-fun and the balloon is surprisingly soft, yet strong. Easily my new favorit (WB28, Double-Dipped Light).

    Riding a soft large blue balloon this week. Much better light this time. Happy #squeakend everyone.

    Small photo project from this weekend. I hope you enjoy - I certainly did :D
    Fun to make, but the lighting was garbage. Have a nice week.

  17. Here's a talk I gave to the UK Smalltalk Users Group, "Livecoding Language Models: AI Context in Live Environments" :: youtube.com/watch?v=5HbbIa5NT0 :: #smalltalk #squeak #ukstug #livecoding

  18. Big BIG fan of @Troggie’s Halloween persona, btw.

  19. TIL that the programming language Squeak (an ancestor of Go), is called that because it was "a language for communicating with mice". 😆😆😆

    > #Scheme on top of #PreScheme
    Ah, you are a minimalist that way. Sort of what #Squeak #Smalltalk does with its VM development (based on C). I'd want the high-level language to do heavy-lifting, so maybe #LispFlavouredErlang on top of PreScheme.

    > OS in PreScheme and Scheme
    GNU Mes and #Guix must be on that track.

  21. Fascinating chat about #smalltalk and its origins and modern use. I love the concept, and as a former user of #squeak I'm interested in learning more about it.

  23. @alvarmaciel would you know how to modify the clock in #Squeak or #Cuis #Smalltalk to not show seconds?

  25. Dear friends on see shell … eh social med IA,

    As we mites know,
    #Intelligent Asses (IA) have been available from C shells for some time. Therefore it is important to #downgrade our #hardware to the least used. Of course C does not compete with modern #assemblers or #language generated by #AI and twerked by #dancers.

    Aware of these
    #FAQs I will be #changing #nothing but my inherent inefficiency. Using some boosted #Swift, #Elixir, #Squeak or commercialised language such as #Curl up with a good book

  26. Smalltalk пока что для боевого применения плохо годится.

    Squeak/Pharo нестабильны и медлительны, VisualWorks Smalltalk стабилен и быстр, но стоит денег. А Cincom не работает с Россией в свете текущих событий. Есть ещё GNU Smalltalk, но коммерческая разработка вроде как запрещена на нём. Есть американская VisualAge Smalltalk, но она платная и возможно сильно устаревшая. Есть Smalltalk/X - вроде как немецкая разработка, тоже платная и, при этом, пощупать среду разработки бесплатно не дают. Есть Smalltalk MT - но он для разработки игр и под винду.

    Может быть, Squeak/Pharo на GraalVM будут быстры и стабильны. Но я не знаю, не щупал.

  30. @Conornash That's interesting!
    I did a complete round trip:
    Started with Smalltalk/V for MDOS in the late 80s. Used the same #Smalltalk on Windows and OS/2 in the early 90s. Used C++ for the rest of that decade. Then switched to #Python as a substitute for Smalltalk. Used #Squeak and #Pharo for private projects. Finally came back to #Cuis around 2015. After some discussion I started my own Cuis-based Smalltalk called #Haver​.
