Hi,
I am traveling these days. I just came back from
speakerconf.com where I demoed the Pharo and the GTInspector. It raised positive reactions.
Next week is NDC Oslo, where I have a 1h session to show Pharo. GT (including Roassal) will certainly be part of the show. With this occasion I am trying to prepare some easily demoable scenarios that can serve as documentation as well.
The list of projects you are working on looks nice. I reviewed Inti this week. It has nice ideas, but the implementation is not concise, and there are several things that should be improved. I will follow later with another email on this.
In parallel, I am working together with Andrei on extending GT:
- The inspector got extended a bit with several things like the DB support, or the file system. An interesting direction is in documenting it to get people to use it more extensively. For example, ideally, all examples around Roassal should work in the inspector.
- The code/text editing will be moved to Rubric.
- We are working on an extended concept for the playground that combines what exists now with a REPL.
- Andrei is also working on a new class editor that implies no panes.
- We have some other backing tracks around how to bring ideas from search interfaces like Quicksilver or Alfred in the IDE.
Cheers,
Doru
