for all intents and purposes, entering a line feed int the REPL is equivalent to "print it" FWIW, GNU smalltalk's somewhat radical divergences from ST80, are actually the natural evolution of the system, given that the smalltalk machines, which were originally conceived,, do not actually exist -

I'm not sure that the Blue book has something like REPL (Read-Eval-Print-Loop) and LOC (Lines of Code ?). GNU smalltalk does a fine job of implementing some of the concepts of the interactive Smalltalk-80, system, towards the world of line-oriented "REPL" read-eval-print-loop. It also does

it does conform to the spec though - the REPL syntax is exactly the same as a static file - the dot is not a statement terminator as with C-like languages - it is a statement separator, which means it is optional, where there is only one single statement - the same is true in a method definition -

Hi Help-Smalltalk, I put periods after each line and then the Smalltalk program ran just fine. Is there a way to avoid having to put periods after each line? What end of statement characters besides period does Smalltalk expect? Maybe my editor can be reconfigured accordingly. Thanks everyone,
