I never claimed otherwise! I am just saying that there is nothing new - and frankly, though I admit not having read carefully, I didn't find the example so... impressive. Perhaps I need to read it again. Again though - I am not saying anything negative about Metacello.

But since the topic came up I wanted to mention it. But AFAIK there is no other tool/project aimed at that use case. Again, I may be wrong :) regards, Göran _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
