Pulsar：面向 Pharo 的全新编码优先 IDE 在 ESUG 2026 亮相
Pulsar at ESUG 2026 (new Smalltalk IDE)
在 ESUG 2026 上，Pulsar 作为一款面向 Pharo 的全新编码优先 IDE 被展示，强调编程工具应帮助程序员理解、导航和修改系统并始终贴近代码。作者认为，在生成式智能体时代，这种贴近代码的能力不是变得不重要，而是更加重要。Pulsar 目前仍处于开发中但已可用，演讲视频与幻灯片已上线。
At ESUG 2026 I presented Pulsar, a new coding-first IDE for Pharo. The talk explores why staying close to the code still matters in the age of generative agents—and where Pulsar is heading next.
At ESUG this year —2026, for those reading this from the future— I presented Pulsar, a new IDE for Pharo, with a strong focus on coding.
That may sound like an obvious thing for an IDE to focus on. But in these days of RAD reborn in the form of generative agents, perhaps it is not so obvious after all.
Pulsar comes from a fairly simple idea: programming tools should help programmers understand the system, navigate it, change it, and stay close to the code while doing so. Generative tools can certainly help, but I do not think they make those capabilities less important. If anything, they make them more important.
The ESUG talk was my attempt to explain that direction, show where Pulsar is today, and give a glimpse of where I would like to take it.
The video and slides are now online:

And, of course, you can find Pulsar itself here:
Pulsar is still very much a work in progress, but it is already usable, and feedback is more than welcome.
