Pharo Pulsar: Spinning you into a Power User + +Esteban Lorenzano + +""Abstract:"" + +Programming environments shape the way programmers think, explore, and act. Smalltalk has +always carried a powerful idea: the IDE is not merely a place where code is written, but +a living interface to the system itself. Pulsar starts from that tradition and asks how +far we can take it today. + +Pulsar is an experimental IDE for Pharo, built with Spec. Its goal is to provide programmers +with more leverage in their everyday work: better navigation, richer feedback, deeper inspection, +and a more fluid relation with the running image. It is not only a new browser, but an attempt +to rethink the IDE as a tool that amplifies the programmer’s ability to understand, modify, +and evolve software. + +This presentation introduces Pulsar as a work in progress and as a bet on the future of +Pharo tooling: an IDE designed for programmers who want to remain close to the system, +move quickly through it, and become more powerful in the act of programming itself. + +""Bio:"" + +Esteban Lorenzano studied Computer Sciences at Universidad de Buenos Aires, and worked +since 1994 in several object-oriented and low-level technologies, in different software +companies, serving in various positions from programmer to senior architect. In 2007 he +co-founded Smallworks to offer Pharo-based agile development projects. + +Since 2012 he dedicated full time to developing the Pharo code and community. He works +with the INRIA-EVREF team in Lille, France, as core developer for Pharo, being responsible +with the coordination of new releases and the implementation and maintenance of several +Pharo libraries.
