    This is exciting news, and I would like to say "hello" to Richard Kenneth Eng, the sole user of Pharo in the world.

    Does anyone know the current state of agent-assisted Smalltalk, Pharo or otherwise? Intuitively it seems like a match made in heaven, since the agent can directly manipulate the running program, but I also assume that there is very little training data available for Smalltalk.

    Niva is a Smalltalk-like language with static types:https://github.com/gavr123456789/NivaAn implementation of Boids for Niva:https://github.com/dharmatech/boids-niva

    Reading stuff like this continue to make advances and new releases is like a fever dream when everything else is all AI.

    It's like a protestant Smalltalk!(Smalltalk is a religion, I will die on this hill!)

    Why does it look like something from 2012 tho :`)

    Like many here, I've always been a language buff -- programming in assmebly, C(++), Java, various Lisps, Prolog, O'Caml/F#/Hask, etc. - and a fan of Smalltalk. (Used Tektronix ST and Smalltalk-V, but never Pharo.)One thing that AI programming has done is made me care much less what programming language is being used. This is slightly regrettable, but for the most part very freeing, as I don't need to worry about what language is easier for me (as a human) to use for a particular problem, or make me inclined to use one of my "pet" programming languages over one that may be a better fit for more pedestrian reasons.

    Why don't they make a DOM/SVG front-end for the browsers? (Not canvas!)It could serve as the engine for new, fun, interactive websites!

    The fact that the page says that this version was made by "more than [X] contributors" makes me think that maybe they don't have enough contributors?

    C-f SmalltalkNothing found. Weird.

    Has anyone pointed CC at Pharo? Or is the UI and IDE a limit in this case?

    All it needs now is an MCP server.
