Pharo 9 - OOP Language

Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback.

  • Full redesign of the Spec UI framework (new logic, application, style, GTK3 back-end)
  • New tools:
    • new playground,
    • new object centric inspector,
    • new object centric debugger.
    • better and new Refactorings
    • class comments are now written in Microdown format (Markdown compatible)
    • classes now can be defined using a “fluid” api (Preview)
    • new completion framework that adapts better to edition contexts and is customizable
  • Fast universal non-blocking FFI which now uses libFFI as backend.
  • Pharo now supports Windows, OSX, Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch, Raspbian) and multiple architectures (Intel/ARM 32/64bits).
  • Virtual Machine
    • Idle VM
    • Support for ARM 64bits
    • Support for Apple M1
    • More than 3000 tests
    • Built for Ubuntu 18.04, 19.04, 20.04, 21.04, 21.10; Debian 9, 10, Testing; Fedora 32, 32, 34; openSUSE 15.1, 15.2, Tumbleweed; Manjaro; Arch
  • Uses SDL 2.0 as back-end by default. It supports extended event handling, including trackpad support.
  • General speed up due to compiler optimisations and UI simplification.
  • And many, many more tests.

These are just the more prominent highlights, but the details are just as important. We have closed a massive amount of issues: around 1400 issues and 2150 pull requests.
