Pharo: An environment for industry and research

The first part provides a brief introduction and a short demo highlighting features that make Pharo distinctive. The talk then presents examples of how Pharo is used in both industrial and research projects. The final part focuses on Soil, an object-oriented database implemented in Pharo. This ongoing research project explores concepts for a persistent, history-aware, reflective programming language.

The lecture will be held in English. All students, employees, and friends of Pharo who are interested in programming and databases are welcome to attend.
