the same :) I like coral scripting format. this is just a better chunk format :)
If you by that mean a really nice serialization format that fits to serialize objects dealing with Smalltalk source code - then yes. This is where the comparison with Coral probably breaks - correct me if I am wrong, but Coral is a "better" .st format, right? Or in other words - a format for typing in Smalltalk code in files. Tirade is meant to *serialize* Delta and Change objects. It is not a "fileout" format, it is much more a readable *serialization* format.
But I do not want to open a war again. So better do it "alone" than fight with others. This is also my motto.
I looking at it at different angle: why inventing own wheel, when there is already existing solutions. I'm not sure if Coral fits well with DS (looks like it depends on NewCompiler), i just gave Goran a links, so he could decide if it is.
I haven't seen a description of Coral yet - and no, I haven't installed it and looked at it. I wanted a description first :). But given the little I have read it seems to be a format for Smalltalk classes in files. Period. Again, this is not at all what Tirade is nor something suitable for serializing Deltas, or am I missing something? And yes, Tirade works fine today in 3.6->3.10.2 + Pharo. It's 500 lines of code and independent of Compiler and has no other dependencies. This is important for the use cases. :) regards, Göran
