Suggestion on naming: shorter names

by Sebastian Sastre

Hi there, I've saw this: https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W64 that you introduced: valueWithInterval: aDelay valueAfterWaiting: aDelay which is a cool feature. I only suggest that it could have shorter names. Using: valueAfter: aDelay and valueEvery: aDelay would make it look like: [Transcript cr; show: 'Hello World!' ] valueAfter: 10 seconds. [Transcript cr; show: 'tick-tack...' ] valueEvery: 10 seconds. In general, and when they don't introduce ambiguity or unacceptable vagueness, shorter names help typing, make the autocompleter find hits faster and unload the memory bandwidth of our brains Keep the great work! sebastian o/

Thatâs understandable I am signalling those things because I think they confuse newcomers even more. I was just installing Pharo on a new machine and I know where I can find those things but newcomers donât.
