Hi guys!

If you by that mean a really nice serialization format that fits to 
serialize objects dealing with Smalltalk source code - then yes.

This is where the comparison with Coral probably breaks - correct me if 
I am wrong, but Coral is a "better" .st format, right? Or in other words 
- a format for typing in Smalltalk code in files.

Tirade is meant to *serialize* Delta and Change objects. It is not a 
"fileout" format, it is much more a readable *serialization* format.

I haven't seen a description of Coral yet - and no, I haven't installed 
it and looked at it. I wanted a description first :). But given the 
little I have read it seems to be a format for Smalltalk classes in 
files. Period.

Again, this is not at all what Tirade is nor something suitable for 
serializing Deltas, or am I missing something?

And yes, Tirade works fine today in 3.6->3.10.2 + Pharo. It's 500 lines 
of code and independent of Compiler and has no other dependencies.

This is important for the use cases. :)

regards, Göran
