Why is that ? can't I program OO graphical stuff with LOLA ?
The object/ and function/ directories include incompatible object
libraries (the biggest difference is that the one in object/st80 has
1-based arrays and the one in function/object has 0-based indexing).
The object/st80 library is moribund; it's only purpose is to support
the idc compiler. As the idc compiler is pulled into Jolt (to make
Coke -- it's the real thing ;-) the st80 library will become
irrelevant (although I am slightly tempted to keep it, make it ANSI
compliant, anc call it 'Standard Smalltalk'). New code should use
the function/object library. Eventually everything above function/
will be subsumed by stuff inside function/ and a 'mv function/* .;
rmdir function' will be issued.
