amen zwa, esq.Small- to medium-sized businesses should shun the massive web <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UI</a> frameworks and application services being peddled by BigIT, when developing their small, internal-use business applications intended for use by a handful of in-house business analysts. Instead, these companies should use <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Smalltalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Smalltalk</a> (Pharo, Cuis, or Squeak) to develop such software. Smalltalk has tonnes of advantages—not to mention decades of track record—for implementing enterprise applications:• It is purely OO with decent FP facilities (it is the precursor of modern OO-FP hybrids) • Its simple syntax can be described on a 5×7 card • It is easy to get comfortable with, so much so that generations of preteens have used it in classrooms, so an experienced modern programmer can pick up the language in mere minutes • It is powerful enough to implement itself, its libraries, its UI, and the whole blessed OS on the Alto • It is the progenitor of the MVC pattern and, since IBM VisualAge, all modern implementations use the time-tested MVP pattern • Its persistent VM obviates the need to export application state to external persistent media like file system or relation database (the VM is the application state, as it were)Pharo Smalltalk, sponsored by INREA, is my favourite. Its creator, Stephan Ducasse, is friendly and accommodating, and is a prolific writer. See this Pharo Books list: <a href="https://books.pharo.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://books.pharo.org</a>.Those who are leading SmallIT should read these Pharo books:• Pharo by Example (language) • Enterprise Pharo (usage) • Testing in Pharo (TDD) • Application with Spec 2.0 (GUI)Pharo does support conventional IT practices:• Zinc HTTP • Seaside web UI framework • Voyage object database • Glorp ORP

Paolo AmorosoThe Xerox PARC alumni who contribute to the Medley Interlisp project shared the buttons they collected at computing conferences in the 1980s and 1990s such as AAAI, IJCAI, SIGGRAPH.The buttons are awesome and span a range of languages and systems such as Interlisp, Lisp Machines, Smalltalk, Unix, Modula-2, Mesa, Pilot, and more.

PulkoMandyHey, it's <a href="https://mastodon.tetaneutral.net/tags/AmstradCPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmstradCPC</a> <a href="https://mastodon.tetaneutral.net/tags/Smalltalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Smalltalk</a> time again! First of all, ùCPM fanzine released their 6th issue including my article introducing the project (lovely designed and printed on CPC, and great choice of illustrations, unfortunately for some of you, it's in French)After a few days of thinking, I decided to throw away my semi-generational gc, and instead use the Baker two-space gc. It is simpler, and hopefully it's faster. The memory "waste" should be fine, I have lots of memory anyways?

Simon Brooke<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@AmenZwa" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@AmenZwa</a> > "The original versions of those classic languages cannot be used to solve modern problems"The original versions of those classic languages are Turing complete, and consequently they can be used to solve all problems which can be solved through computation.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lisp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/SmallTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SmallTalk</a>

amen zwa, esq.The original <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/LISP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LISP</a> had 7 primitives: \(\texttt{cons}\), \(\texttt{car,}\) \(\texttt{cdr}\), \(\texttt{atom}\), \(\texttt{quote}\), \(\texttt{eq}\), and \(\texttt{cond}\). And the original <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Smalltalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Smalltalk</a> syntax could fit on a 5×7 card. That meant a novice could learn the syntax in a matter of minutes, and direct all his efforts to learning how properly to wield the power of that Turing-complete language. This was why, in the 1970s and the 1980s, many college freshmen were taught FP in Scheme (a more modern LISP) and many middle school children were taught OO in Smalltalk. These were surely the best "first" <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a> languages.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/FORTRAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FORTRAN</a> and <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/BASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BASIC</a> were simple, too. FORTRAN, the first high-level language, has been in continuous use since the late 1950s by engineers, who are not keyboard warriors. BASIC was invented in the early 1960s for teaching programming to non-STEM students at Dartmouth. It sired a whole generation of self-taught children in the 1980s.Compare those to C++, Erlang, Python, Haskell, Java, JavaScript, Scala, Rust, Kotlin, and pretty much every language in popular use today. Most consider Python and JavaScript to be the simplest of modern languages. Yet, they are massive, complex languages. No 10-year-old could teach himself those, nor should he.The original versions of those classic languages cannot be used to solve modern problems. But they should still be taught to youngsters as their first language. Throwing in the kids' faces a modern enterprise language confuses them and discourages them. Consequently, many novices never attain that state of flow, when the joy of programming gushes forth.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Simplicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Simplicity</a> is a virtue. Self-motivated learning is virtuous.

Marcin Kamyk Kamiński💬 Small talk to jedna z tych rzeczy, które dla wielu osób są zupełnie naturalne, ale dla innych stanowią istną torturę. Może i dla Ciebie? Czasem po prostu nie masz ochoty na rozmowy o pogodzie, o prawicowych trollach, czy jałowego pytania zaczynającego się od "co tam u Ciebie?" i marzysz, by w spokoju dotrzeć do celu, nie wikłając się w zbędne gadki. Jednak jak to zrobić, żeby nie być uznanym za mruka czy chama? <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/poradnik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poradnik</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/smalltalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smalltalk</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rozmowa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rozmowa</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/komunikacja" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#komunikacja</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/introwertyzm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introwertyzm</a> <a href="https://marcinkaminski.pl/small-talk/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://marcinkaminski.pl/small-talk/</a>
