Dear all,
I dunno if there are still people on these mailing-lists.
I'm Serge Stinckwich, a long time Smalltalker. Since March 2020,
I'm working in Macau and I would like to connect to the Chinese Pharo
community if there are people interested in building one :-)
There is a pharo-zh channel on the Pharo discord. You can register here:
https://discord.gg/QewZMZa
Thank you to send this message to potential people that might be interested.

object-oriented programming language in the tradition of Smalltalk. It
offers a unique developing experience in constant interaction with live
objects. Pharo is an open-source platform (MIT licence) supported and used
by a joint consortium of industrials and academics (
http://consortium.pharo.org/).
>From the research point of view, Pharo provides a very malleable language
to prototype new ideas thanks to its unique and advanced reflective layer.

Hi,
The Class of SimplifiedChineseEnvironment has not been completed in Squeak
4.3.
I have tried to add some methods according to Janppenese Environment.
Chinese characters display well as normal strings.
Thers are some problems when recovering changes using CNGBTextConveter.
I am not sure which kind of TextConverter should be choosed. Becourse there
are several textConverter classes processing Chinese characters, eg
CNGBTextConverter , UTF16TextConverterand UTF8TextConverter.
which one is the correct in Window os?
Thanks a lot!
Liang Bing.

===================================================================
6th Workshop on Dynamic Languages and Applications
Colocated with 26th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming
(ECOOP 2012)
11–16 June 2012, Beijing, China
===================================================================
Web site: http://scg.unibe.ch/wiki/events/dyla2012
The DYLA Workshop series focuses on the revival of dynamic languages.
These days, dynamic languages (like Lisp, Ruby, Python, JavaScript,
Lua, etc...) are getting ever more popular. This is a call to arms for
academia! We need to explore the future of dynamic languages through
its human aspects and technical issues. We also ought to look back and
pick up solutions from existing dynamic languages (such as Scheme,
Smalltalk, or Self) to be rediscovered and spread around.
Goal and Topics
The goal of this workshop is to act as a forum where we can discuss
new advances in the design, implementation and application of
dynamically typed languages that, sometimes radically, diverge from
the statically typed class-based mainstream with limited reflective
capabilities. Another objective of the workshop is to discuss new as
well as older “forgotten” languages and features in this context.
The workshop will have a demo-oriented style. The idea is to allow
participants to demonstrate new and interesting features and discuss
what they feel is relevant for the dynamic language community. All
participants need to submit a two-page description (LNCS format) of
their presentation or/and tool demonstration. Each accepted paper will
be presented for 20–30 minutes. Moreover, all workshop attendees
will be asked to give 10-minute “lightning demos” of whatever they
bring with them. A dedicated session will be allocated for this,
provided there is ample time available. A session on pair programming
is also planned. People will then get a chance to share their
technology by closely interacting with other participants.
Submission page is http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dyla2012
The expected audience of this workshop is practitioners and
researchers sharing the same interest in dynamically typed languages.
Lua, Python, Ruby, Scheme and Smalltalk are gaining a significant
popularity both in industry and academia. However, each community has
the tendency to only look at what it produced. Broadening the scope of
each community is the goal of the workshop. To achieve this goal we
will form a PC with leading persons from all languages mentioned
above, fostering participation from all targeted communities.
Topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited to:
- what features make a language a dynamic one?
- agents, actors, active object, distribution, concurrency and mobility
- delegation, prototypes, mixins, traits
- first-class closures, continuations, environments
- reflection and meta-programming
- (dynamic) aspects for dynamic languages
- higher-order objects & messages
- other exotic dynamic features
- multi-paradigm & static/dynamic-marriages
- (concurrent/distributed/mobile/aspect) virtual machines
- optimization of dynamic languages
- automated reasoning about programs written in dynamic languages
- improved or novel IDE support for dynamic languages
- empirical studies about the application of dynamic languages
- best practices and patterns specific to dynamic languages
- use of dynamic features by library & framework developers
- reverse engineering and analysis of dynamic applications
- program correctness through unit testing (as opposed to types)
- applications of dynamic languages: embedded systems, robotic
systems, web site, ...
And any topic relevant in applying and/or supporting dynamic
languages: Smalltalk, Python, Ruby, Javascript, Scheme, Lisp, Self,
ABCL, Prolog, Ioke, Clojure and many more...
Important dates
- Due date for full workshop papers submission: April 17th, 2012

Hi all,
i'm a french Smalltalker living in Ha Noi (Vietnam) at that moment and
i'm also a member of ESUG board. ESUG (European Smalltalk User Group)
is non-profitable association. Our main aim is to promote the use of
the Smalltalk programming language and also to support local Smalltalk
User Group everywhere. We organize a conference with more than 130
people in Europe. Look at our web site for more details:
http://www.esug.org/
I would like to help the promotion of Smalltalk in Asia. I started to
put some numbers about the existing Smalltalk (or Squeak) Users Groups
and mailing-list here:
http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/wikka.php?wakka=SmalltalkInAsia
I'm aware of two chinese Squeak mailing-lists, but the traffic of
these two mailing-lists are quite slow ... I know that some people in
China are interested by using Smalltalk for doing business and not
only using Squeak for doing fun stuff. Nothing wrong about doing crazy
or fun stuff, but in order to have a more bigger community, we need to
put together all aspects of Smalltalk.
Maybe one idea is to close existing mailing-lists and to launch a new
mailing-list called Smalltalk-cn for all the Smalltalk flavors
(Squeak, Pharo, Dolphin Smalltalk, Gnu Smalltalk, VisualWorks, VSE,
...). What do you think about this idea ? Maybe you have better one to
promote Smalltalk in China ?
ESUG can also give some funds if some of you want to setup a
non-profitable association for a Chinese Smalltalk User Group. Please
contact me if you want to have more details. If you write an article
in a magazine about Smalltalk, you could ask us also some support :
http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Promotion/Article
We have also more promotions actions here:
http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Promotion
I hope to be able to come in China (Beijing and/or Shanghai) in the
future in order to meet some of you :-)
