Re: [Pharo-users] mentor question 4

PS: I should make it clear that I do not expect anArray asString to work for *all* arrays. In my Smalltalk, #(true false) asString raises an exception, and so does #(65 66 67) asString. On Sat, 16 May 2020 at 00:42, Richard O'Keefe wrote: > Why does it make no sense? > To a first

Re: [Pharo-users] mentor question 4

Why does it make no sense? To a first approximation, aCollection asWHATEVER = WHATEVER withAll: aCollection Consider 'CAB' asSet 'CAB' asArray 'CAB' asSortedCollection 'CAB' asBag and so on. They all mean "an instance of the class named in the selector with the elements of the receiver."

Re: [Pharo-users] Deleting images / saving as - in Pharo Launcher auncher

And thanks you for supporting it and describing it better :) This is an addition I hacked but I lost the code ^^ (was really hacks). I’m pretty sure that would be easy to implement for « core dev » . Basically, this is another save as, maybe « save version » ? Then the "save as » should be

Hello, On Windows 10 and Pharo 8, If I do: [ Error signal ] ifCurtailed: [ Transcript show: 'error' ]. the debug window pops up, when I close, 'error' is print in the Transcript. If I do [ Error signal ] on: Error do: [ Transcript show: 'error' ]. 'error' is print in Transcript without debug

You should make something similar but inverted, like: Why do you think Smalltalk should not be used? --or What are the problems you have that prevents you of using Smalltalk? I have seen many such posts of Smalltalk wonders, and while I agree with most of them, it seems that they aren't enough

I don't know what is behind the poll system, but it doesn't work in Brave browser. It simply says "Thanks for participating in the poll." I find the questions confusing though. Esteban A. Maringolo On Wed, May 13, 2020 at 4:43 PM Richard Kenneth Eng wrote: > >

[Pharo-users] pharo 8 - method versions - how to see author/timestamp?

Re: [Pharo-users] ifCurtailed prompts debug window

With the first, you are not defining for the Error to be handled, only what to do when the stack unwinds abnormally. In the second you are defining for the Error to be handled, so it does that. cheers -ben On Sat, 16 May 2020 at 01:00, Vitor Medina Cruz wrote: > Hello, > > On Windows 10 and

Re: [Pharo-users] [ANN] What are good reasons to use Smalltalk?

I've changed the word "developers" to "people". In a poll, it's hard to keep the question's answers brief and to the point. You don't want to be too wordy. So I have to choose my words very, very carefully so that I can be as concise as possible. I don't know how successful I am. Richard

Also, #ifCurtailed: is supposed to fire if there's a long return that would have passed through it, while #on:do: doesn't care about long returns in the least. On Sat, 16 May 2020 at 15:27, Ben Coman wrote: > With the first, you are not defining for the Error to be handled, > only what to do

I find I do the same sort of precautionary measure (and probably would do it more if launcher supported this use case and helped me manage those snaphot images) - I view it a bit like how TimeMachine lets you see previous versions of files - yes the source code is versioned, but its just the
