I like very much the idea! Creating a class can be done in many different ways. The Factory design pattern should be applied here I think.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Class syntax brainstorming

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Honestly, I do not like that much having a more declarative (less Smalltalksish) definition. In fact, one of the things I was always proud of showing to Smalltalk newcomers, that when they created a class, all they were doing was a "DoIt" to tell the superclass to create the new subclass. And then showing how they could copy and paste that into a workspace and DoIt. Or Debug it. So..if it were for me, I would keep a Smalltalk syntax with a plain message send. Sure, a builder kind of API is better to me, like Luc proposes. Also, I do prefer too the #createAndInstall kind of message so that we can have a flavour of #createClass that only creates the class but doesn't install it into the system.

" this message sent might be hidden by the browser when accepting" I would like to suggest to consider replacing instVars: 'a b c'; with instVars: #( b a c ); That is, to replace the String with names separated by whitespace, by an array of Symbols, one name per line. This would make it possible to put comments right next to variable names like this: instVars: #( b "comment about b" a "comment about a" c "comment about c" ); Which is similar to what can be done in other object oriented languages like Java or C++. This would also make for nice diffs of changes to the class definition - when put into git - when instance variables are added, removed or renamed. instVars: #( b - a + d c ); Best Regards, Milan Vavra -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Class-syntax-brainstorming-tp4947801p4947858.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

And few notes: all messages should be optional. It is not necessary to specify Object superclass. By default class can belongs to Unpackaged package. I think superclass should be defined as symbol because it can not exists.
