Added in-memory support for Mapless repositories using the UnQLite backend.
Just a quick update to mention that I've merged in develop a pull request that will add the capability to work with Mapless using UnQLite in memory.

Migrating from SQLite to PostgreSQL
Sounds like it was a smooth migration. Good to hear that because in this precise moment I'm adding SQLite support to *Mapless* [1] (PostgreSQL had support already [2]) so people can do these kind of smooth transitions in their Smalltalk apps.

Mapless is online again
After quite some time not having updates on Mapless, I've invested in getting it working for latests Pharo versions and incorporating and maturing its API and main features.

Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
1. Circa 2014 I've created Mapless [1], a Smalltalk persistence framework to remove the Object Relational Impedance Mismatch problem by design so I can quickly prototype or (modify) maintain the persisted objects without caring about mapping. Now it's going for production with humongous load.
2. I'm discretely working in Lobster [2] because I don't like current Smalltalk IDEs and I want one with a native look and feel. So far I have implemented Transcript, Workspace, Inspector, REPL and partially a Class Hierarchy Browser.

Write Your Own Terminal
I can confirm that writing a terminal is fun, for the reasons mentioned in the article: it’s easy to get “self-hosting”, but then the possibilities are endless :)
In my case, this was about creating the terminal for EndBASIC (https://www.endbasic.dev/). I wanted to mix text and graphics in the same console, so I had to ditch Xterm.js and create my own thing. It was really exciting to see graphics rendering mix with text “just fine” when I was able to render the first line.

Ask HN: Whats the modern day equivalent of 80s computer for kids to explore?
I tried to set up a Raspberry Pi and configured it to boot into a simple window manager with DosBox full screen by default. I taught my kids to launch games within that and they learned the very basics… but it didn’t stick: they haven’t really gained any interest in how to do other stuff in the shell.
Anyway: check (my own) https://www.endbasic.dev/ which I’ve written precisely for the situation you describe :) You would actually have to /write/ the games first though!

EndBASIC
Slightly buried: Apache 2.0, written in Rust, https://github.com/endbasic/endbasic/
Definitely an interesting attempt to cut through layers of abstraction and make something that lets people make the computer do useful/interesting things. No idea how well they realize that vision, of course, but good idea.

TwinBASIC is a modern BASIC compiler
Somebody else brought it up in a separate comment, but because you specifically ask about the Raspberry, I'll mention EndBASIC (https://www.endbasic.dev/) here again :)
Supporting this platform has been a primary goal of mine, and in fact, one of the features (GPIO) only works on the Raspberry Pi today :) But there is a long road ahead. My vision is to create a minimal Linux image that boots straight into EndBASIC, and extend EndBASIC to give you more control of the Pi's hardware. The idea is to truly mimic the old C64 experience, but leveraging the power of modern hardware / infrastructure.

Learning BASIC Like It's 1983 (2018)
Agree with the author’s thesis of how the folks that “grew with computers” have an advantage over those approaching them now, in terms of understanding the inner workings. I’m not sure that this matters much in terms of solving actual problems though, which is probably a good thing.
But I somehow find it a little bit sad that this is the case, so I’ll plug my own https://www.endbasic.dev/ because it’s very fitting in this context :) I’ve been building it precisely as a way to understand everything that’s going on (although it’s still far from fulfilling that promise).
Also, buried in the article is a reference to the https://10print.org/ book. I recently came across it at HPB and it has been a pretty entertaining read. Couldn’t believe there was so much to write about such a simple little program!
