Stef, is this an invitation to continue discussion? I could continue.. but i and Wilhelm already stated multiple times, why we think its a wrong way of doing things. I am all hands for having a good Complex support to Pharo, Squeak & smalltalk in general, but just do it in non-intrusive way.
I don't want to be peevish here, but things like: >>Note that there is no attempt to change oddities of Smalltalk syntax. >>E.g. >> (3 + 1/2i) --> (0 - 2i) NOT (3 + (1/2)i) indicating that Ken don't realizing completely what is Smalltalk. I don't understand why man, who defending the consistency of math capabilities, on other side seems against consistency of syntax , language, class hierarchy & putting in danger all code which using math functions written so far. Smalltalk is not MatLab nor Lisp/Scheme. I fell sorry, that my arguments seem were not convincing to Ken. 2009/8/18 Stéphane Ducasse <[email protected]>: > > > Begin forwarded message: > >> From: "Ken.Dickey" <[email protected]> >> Date: August 18, 2009 8:36:53 PM CEDT >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: OverlyComplex >> >> Greetings, >> >> I have done a brief write up of Complex issues that most concern me >> and opened >> ISSUE 1072: OverlyComplex. >> >> http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1072 >> >> >> Note that there are to be three proposals: >> removeComplex [Issue OverlyComplex] >> basicComplex >> extendedComplex >> >> SLICE-remove-Complex, the first of the three changesets, has been >> added to >> PharoInbox as per >> http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/HowToContribute >> >> I logged on to Pharo's Google Wiki but fail to see how to add a >> topic/page. >> Can some kind soul help me out? >> >> Again, I am new to your processes, so any help/suggestions/info are >> welcomed. >> >> Thanks much, >> -KenD >> > > > _______________________________________________ > Pharo-project mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project > -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
