New CLI tool unifies Smalltalk environment management

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer created 'st', a shell-based CLI that provides a consistent interface for installing and running various Smalltalk dialects like Pharo, Cuis, and Squeak. The tool works on Linux, macOS, and Windows via WSL, and supports basic package management. It aims to reduce the pain of managing multiple Smalltalk VMs and images.

Meridian48 take
While Smalltalk is a niche language, this tool addresses a real pain point for its community, but its impact is limited to a small developer audience.
