  • pharo

    Pharo is a dynamic reflective pure object-oriented language supporting live programming inspired by Smalltalk.

    When all the required dependencies are being found on your Fedor install we should wonder why "the VM seemed to hang and never started properly".

  • runlike

    Given an existing docker container, prints the command line necessary to run a copy of it.

    You can use this tool to figure out how to run again any currently running container https://github.com/lavie/runlike

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

    Pharo Enhancement Proposals

  • Parasol

    Testing web apps in Smalltalk using Selenium WebDriver.

    IMO it's a good tool for web scraping. The reason: you can do web scraping with Parasol (i.e. Selenium [1]) and then if you need visualization tools then you can immediately use Roassal [2]. The thing is: Pharo and the fact that it's more GUI-oriented than other programming languages, allows for data visualization a bit easier.

    Another use-case is: open-source software where you want to encourage users to just open up "the damn code engine" and hack straight into it, seeing it change on the fly. Like, can you just right click in Windows on a pixel and change the code that underlies it? In Pharo you can! Commercial parties would find this horrible, but it's amazing for full open-source software.

    For web apps, B2B works quite well. B2C, I see scalability issues.
