VA Smalltalk Progress
Looks like Instantiations is busy making VA Smalltalk better - Joachim reports:
But not only is the team busy working on good stuff, they are also releasing early previews of their work in progress in order for users to take a look and, even more important, collect feedback. So in the last few weeks, they uploaded incremental updates to both their new logging framework (which they call log4s because it’s a port of log4j) as well as their new VA Code Assist feature that will add code completion to the Smalltalk editors to VASTGoodies.com.

Pharo Going Modular
Torsten reports on the progress happening in the Pharo Kernel project:
As you may know Pavel is working on Pharo Kernel - a small Smalltalk kernel that is stripped down from Pharo Core image. Meanwhile there is also a 3MB Pharo-Kernel-Gofer image available that has networking support and Gofer (a pharo installer to load packages) installed.
With this it is possible to reload back the various packages from Core image on top of the kernel image. By running the tests afterwards it is possible to check if anything is OK. So far the result is very promising and since all of this is automatically built using the continuous integration server it is possible to control changes and watch progress.
Yet again, interesting work in Smalltalk that isn't really being addressed at the vendor level. All of the really interesting energy is at the open source level....
Smalltalk Bounty
Boris Popov has posted a bounty being offered by the company he works for:
DeepCove Labs will pay an equivalent of CAD $400 (four hundred Canadian dollars) to whomever delivers an updated version of Windows Goodies with RequestingPrinter that works in VisualWorks 7.8 and, of course, we’ll contribute that version back to VisualWorks for others to make use of.
Follow the link for the full context and details - and see if you can lend a paid hand!

Smalltalk Criticism
This critique seems pretty bitter (and at points inaccurate as well) - but you can't only point to the good stuff, either. See if you think Richard Kulisz has a point.

More Smalltalk Screencasts
If you use VisualWorks, you might find the Blue Magic tools of interest - watch these two screencasts they've pushed up. They are a bit old (2 years), but I hadn't seen them before:
Tutorial 1
Tutorial 2
