RE: [Newbies] concatenation of non-Collections

Wouldn't it be convenient if you could do this: msg := 'The number is ', number msg := 'The number is {1} or else is {2}' format: { number. number2 } Behaves this way and looks much better when you have multiple args. Ramon Leon http://onsmaltalk.com

far more than they want. Glorp is an expert framework for experts, but those who don't grok mapping patterns in general will be baffled by it. Rob, if you don't need to scale too big, check out the SandstoneDb package on SqueakSource, it should be familiar to anyone who likes ActiveRecord. Ramon

My (naive) understanding is that somehow this DSL-like style does not appear to have become popular in the Smalltalk world. Is that true? That's because this style relies on the fact that Ruby programs are text, in a file, that get's run to create a live environment. During this run phase,
