What happened

AI digest

On October 14, Hacker News featured Pulsar at ESUG 2026. It is a new code-first IDE for Pharo, built on the idea that programming tools should help programmers understand, navigate and modify a system while staying close to the code. The author argues generative agents can help, but they make these abilities more important, not less. Pulsar is still in development but already usable, and the demo video and slides are online.
