Brython might be a bit more popular than Pharo. We know about 43 links to it since March 2021 and only 32 links to Pharo. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
Pharo/SmallTalk seem to also explore the ideas akin to this. (https://pharo.org/) to be fair the current state of affairs is similar enough with file extensions + mime info if you squint hard enough and pretend that app and systems folders files don't exist but it's held with pinky promises. - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago
Smalltalk and as a particular case Pharo is an example of this for me. (https://pharo.org/). When I was in uni a paper that I always came back to was Licklider's 1960s paper on human-computer symbiosis (https://worrydream.com/refs/Licklider_1960_-_Man-Computer_Symbiosis.pdf) "[...]to enable men and computers to cooperate in making decisions and controlling complex situations without inflexible dependence on... - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago
I think in part it's because the idea that programming is text and math-based is too ingrained in society. For example, we talk about programming languages. But IMO there are also programming systems such as Smalltalk [1]. I've programmed 2 years professionally in it, currently looking for an engagement in a different language (a curiosity thing, also a resume thing). I think Smalltalk has a lot to offer by... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
Glamorous Toolkit (https://gtoolkit.com/) and the underlying Pharo (https://pharo.org/). Writing Pharo code (a modern implementation of Smalltalk) in the GT environment is the most fun I've had programming in years. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
I read Pharo for just a split second. Source: 7 months ago
You can run Python in every web browser using PyScript (https://pyscript.net) or Brython (https://brython.info). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
On a related note, Brython lets you run Python in the browser through JavaScript. You can even see Python in the HTML with “text/python” SCRIPT tags. https://brython.info/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
For frontend there is Brython. It is a Python interpreter written in JavaScript that allows embedding Python scripts in to HTML much like you would with JavaScript. Source: 6 months ago
I'm rooting for WASM to win. One of the things that discouraged me from Front-end Web Development is JavaScript weirdness. It just has too many pitfalls and it's very hard to debug for a newcomer unless you study a proper JS course that tells you precisely all of these traps before you get burned. I've never found a programming language that didn't behave like I expected it on first touch, except for JS. I am... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
This is the primary difference between Pyodide and projects like Transcrypt or Brython: rather than transpiling to JavaScript, you get the real-deal CPython interpreter running client-side in the user's browser. There are a few things that don't work out of the box, since CPython usually runs on a computer and the Browser environment has some unique restrictions (lack of low-level access to networking, for one),...
