Hoi all--
Context[1] is the umbrella project for Naiad (a distributed module
system for all Smalltalks[2]), Spoon (a minimal object memory that
provides the starting point for Naiad), and Lightning (a
remote-messaging framework which performs live serialization, used by
Naiad for moving methods and other objects between systems). I intend
for it to be a future release of Squeak, and a launcher and module
system for all the other Smalltalks. I'm writing Context apps for cloud
computing, web services, and distributed computation.
Commits b7676ba2cc and later of the Context git repo[3] have:
- Support for installable object memories as git submodule repos.
- Submodule repos for memories for each of the known Smalltalk
dialects, with Naiad support pre-loaded. I'm currently working on
the submodules for Squeak[4] and Pharo[5].
- A web-browser-based console for launching and managing object
memories.
- A WebDAV-based virtual filesystem that enables Smalltalk to appear
as a network-attached storage device, and mappings of the system
to that filesystem that make Smalltalk accessible from external
text editors (e.g., for editing code, managing processes and
object memories).
- Remote code and process browsers.
