Smalltalk Meetup in Zurich, Switzerland. Friday, 24 April 2026, starting at 6pm zurich.smalltalk.world

An AI generated but working Pharo Smalltalk VM for iOS and Mac Catalyst. It is interpreter-only (no JIT), with low-bit oop encoding for ASLR compatibility - implemented using @claudeai Code. Passes most @pharoproject tests. github.com/avwohl/iospharo

Harding is a Smalltalk dialect written in Nim with stackless AST based interpreter, green threads and multiple inheritance. harding-lang.org It comes with a GTK-based IDE (bona) with Workspace, Browser and Transcript. Join discord.gg/R8HU28rNVv github.com/gokr/harding

A new PR to introduce new scoped extensions into @pharoproject with a ScopedSelector and by using environments. If the extension overwrites a normal method, then a conflict method is installed. Interesting ... github.com/pharo-project/…

Talk from ESUG 2025: "SqueakJS: A Decade of Progress" demonstrating one of the coolest projects in Smalltalk and showing the power of virtual machines. It allows to run Smalltalk in your browser, on your phone and on your TV. RIP Vanessa! youtube.com/watch?v=JYSBYT…

PharoInfer is a production-ready inference engine for Pharo Smalltalk that brings Large Language Models (LLMs) directly into the @pharoproject environment. github.com/pharo-llm/phar…

Talk from Kasper on his AI work in @pharoproject youtube.com/watch?v=t8oy-5…

There is a new example for @seaside_st that renders the login page without creating a Seaside session github.com/SeasideSt/Seas…

ACP (Agent Client Protocol) client library for @pharoproject This library lets Pharo communicate with ACP-compatible coding agents like Gemini CLI and claude-code-acp over JSON-RPC 2.0 via stdio. github.com/mumez/pharo-acp

Pharo Consortium and @pharoproject has been selected for Google Summer of Code 2026! See gsoc.pharo.org for details

Sound Over Boilerplate - Accessible Plug-Ins Development With Phausto and Cmajor - Domenico Cipriani in @pharoproject youtube.com/watch?v=DVMmKm…

Interesting project appeared on GitHub about a full-featured, multi-runtime web browser implemented in @SqueakSmalltalk with first-class Smalltalk support for web development github.com/pauljbernard/b…

Pharo-LLM is a set of tools for using Large Language Models (LLMs) inside the @pharoproject environment. pharo-llm.github.io

@r0ck3t23 The programming language that comes closest is "Smalltalk" which is existing since 1970's and was used to invent many concepts like OOP, UI, Dynabook, Test first and other. Unfortunately IT have gone off-topic with many stupid languages to satisfy machines instead of humans...

The most powerful programming language of the future isn’t C++ or Python. It’s English. Jensen Huang: “Why program in Python? So weird.” You won’t write code anymore. You’ll describe what you want. If the result isn’t right, you won’t debug. You’ll just tell it to fix itself. The barrier to controlling computers is hitting zero. We’re shifting from syntax to intent. You don’t need to know how to write a script to modify a system. You need to know how to explain what should happen. Huang: “English is the best programming language of the future.” Prompt engineering is just clear communication with a new audience. How you talk to people and how you talk to machines is becoming the same competency. If you can articulate what you need clearly, you’re a developer. If you can refine through conversation, you can ship products. The coder is obsolete. The orchestrator is everything. The skill isn’t syntax anymore. It’s clarity. Knowing what to build, how to ask for it, and how to direct until it’s exactly right.

The page for the smalltalk-dev Plugin - a Claude Code plugin for AI-driven Smalltalk (@pharoproject) development now has a demo video, a presentation, and example project in the README. Check it on: github.com/mumez/smalltal…
