Hello
A question about dynamic arrays
Goran writes that he thinks they were introduced in Squeak?

So it's not about dynamic arrays, but arrays created with the brace
syntax. And yes, that was introduced in Squeak.
Btw OrderedCollections are dynamic arrays.

Is this correct? If yes when? References?
Which other Smalltalk dialects do have them?

Hi guys!
I just posted an article about JSON/STON/Literal arrays/Tirade - and it
is probably easiest to read at planet.smalltalk.org (my blog has a
rather bad theme I realized):
http://planet.smalltalk.org
...or at my blog:
http://goran.krampe.se/2012/05/08/literal-arrays-vs-json-vs-ston-vs-tirade
Sven - sorry for beating down a bit on STON in that article, nothing
personal and I love all the stuff you have done, I just have a hard time
placing STON in my toolbox. If you can give me good arguments why I am
dead wrong - please do! ;)
And regarding Tirade, feel free to criticize that too of course, it is
still not set in stone and all input is appreciated, including telling
me it sucks :).
The most interesting bit of the article is perhaps my thoughts on
literals in Smalltalk - would be nice to hear what people thinḱ. And oh,
sorry for the length of the article - it kinda swelled.
regards, Göran
