Wait a second here. Let's be clear. In your first paragraph you say no need to feel that I am censored or ostracized, then the second paragraph you censor me. Alright, I ask you all. Which meta-model is acceptable for practical work in my stack? I need a meta-model to describe it, or rahter anyone should be able to skin the meta-model they want and that makes most sense. These consciousness meta-models, or meta-memes, from religious tradition are well-defined models. Is the cellular meta-meme acceptable or is also the Mythic meta-meme? Or are both having no place here? This is Smalltalk to me and my practical use of it. It is directly related to interactive fiction, which was just posted about. I am not trying to be belligerent, nay defend myself from hypocrisy and secure my rights, here. So which is the acceptable meta-model?

Dealing with Class and Metaclass instances when using STON
by Sven Van Caekenberghe Dec. 26, 2015

Dec. 26, 2015

Hi, In STON #bleedingEdge I added the ability to write and read Class and Metaclass instances by using their global name. So, Point will be written as Class[#Point] while Point class will be written as Metaclass[#Point]. This is of course a short-circuit solution for the complex structure that a class actually is, but a reasonable compromise. It is in any case better than not handling these types of instances, which was the case before. === Name: STON-Core-SvenVanCaekenberghe.64 Author: SvenVanCaekenberghe Time: 23 December 2015, 10:50:14.195912 pm UUID: b7ced20a-a7a4-4b0f-8f27-db73231eeecb Ancestors: STON-Core-SvenVanCaekenberghe.63 Added the ability to write and read Class and Metaclass instances using their global name === Name: STON-Tests-SvenVanCaekenberghe.59 Author: SvenVanCaekenberghe Time: 23 December 2015, 10:51:06.830762 pm UUID: 9f684bc1-45e1-4bfa-885b-c56ea178bfca Ancestors: STON-Tests-SvenVanCaekenberghe.58 Added unit test for the ability to write and read Class and Metaclass instances using their global name === Thanks to Norbert Hartl for requesting the feature and for test driving it.

Are Critical Tools Becoming Too Brittle?
by Sean P. DeNigris Dec. 25, 2015

Dec. 25, 2015

I just tried to inspect a domain object and I froze my image and had to force quit. How do I debug this? And, more importantly, when an error is encountered in a critical, basic tool like this, should there be some reasonable bare-bones alternative, like the emergency debugger? Not being able to inspect an object without crashing seems like a pretty crippling situation... ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Are-Critical-Tools-Becoming-Too-Brittle-tp4867206.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Object graph stream/visitor implementation?
by Denis Kudriashov Dec. 24, 2015

Dec. 24, 2015

Hello. Do we have way to traverse object graph? I want stream which iterate object graph through instance variables with knowledge about path at every step. Maybe Fuel has classes for this ? Best regards, Denis

Examples

Dec. 24, 2015

Hi! Having examples on the class sides imply that examples are not apparent when I do not select the class side of a class. And this is a pityâ¦ Maybe a particular icon can designate classes with examples? Or what about making the <script> pragma works also for instance methods and not only class methods?

Classes with isVariable=true
by Denis Kudriashov Dec. 24, 2015

Dec. 24, 2015

Hello. I try to look how many classes has "isVariable=true" and "instSize>0". And I found two strange cases: PathTests and FileReferenceTest is variable classes. Why they are variable? And more general: how classes become variable? For example Path isVariable = true. But I not see initialize method which set it. Best regards, Denis
