I am not using reddit. And indeed, a flame wars it a least interesting thing i wanna be part of. The point is, that smalltalk gives a clear answer (as to me), why it has such syntax: uniformity, simplicity and consistency. While in many other languages such answer could be depicted as: because others do. So, a central question in such discussions should be _why_ some language having such rules, and those who don't bother asking it, but instead, from a very start saying that its awfully bad, not worth my attention :) > Bill > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Igor > Stasenko > Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010 9:27 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] [Pharo-users] [ANN] Pharo 1.0 released! > > On 19 April 2010 16:53, Schwab,Wilhelm K <[email protected]> wrote: >> Sig, >> >> You are missing the point: I *agree* that supporting precedence rules would >> very likely be bad and I would probably argue against any such change. >> Where you are doing damage to us all is by ridiculing someone who is raising >> a valid concern rather than debating that person with reasoned arguments. >> > > I am serious.
