Also see http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1258 '.1' asNumber toss an error in Pharo 1.1 11043 and '1.0e+2' asNumber returns 1.0 yet other I think more knowledgeable people say http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1.0e%2B2 100 I'd just say any expectations of converting a string to a number in most flavours of Squeak should be viewed with suspicion.

[Pharo-project] [ANN] HelpSystem (was ProfStef)

>How do you reorder the pages ? with pagexxx ? No, currently there is no order. As I wrote - we have to find a way. Either by providing a #pages method with the order pages #(pageMethod1 pageMethod2 ...) or by enumerating using the pragma in any method pageMethod <help: 'hello' nr: 2> First one is easier to maintain/restructure. Currently it's the order in which pragmas are given (see the code) which I think is undefined. Maybe someone has another idea. Bye T. -- GRATIS fÃ¼r alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!

Question to native english speakers, what is correct: a) MyClass labeled: 'foo' b) MyClass labelled: 'foo' for a class MyClass defining an instance variable "label". Me and google would tend to a) but there is a method #labelled: on SystemWindow.

I think the community has managed to agree on the utility of several things. Many of the Squeak collection extensions have found their way into VisualWorks for example because they're clearly useful and convenient. I think the problem with the standard is architectural, and that that architectural limitation was built-in from the get-go It was intended to be something the vendors could agree upon, not a useful standard. The issue for the vendors was in having a check-box for Smalltalk compared to other languages; C had a standard, C++ had a standard, so Smalltalk needed one. ut the standard wasn't useful for the community, and I think as a result hasn't been that useful for the vendors. Being x3j20-compatible didn't mean enough. But at the time things were very different. Test suites were not in widespread use and no one had developed one yet. A good thing to come out of x3j20 and the first CampSmalltalk was a test suite. The web was in its infancy; there was no javadoc or www.python.org/doc/. Squeak was very young. So it's not surprising that the standard failed to be that useful. The world changed very quickly soon there-after. A differently-architected standard could be useful and a gently unifying force. But it needs to address the challenges of standardising Smalltalk as it exists in its current context, not as it was in the early 90's. > Cheers, > - Andreas > > >
