Some might remember http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2008-February/124960.... . It was a discussion about the dangers of using the result of
#fork and
friends, and the convenience of first creating the process, storing it somewhere and later doing #resume. In this release of Cuis, all callers of #fork and friends that needed the return value were changed for that pattern, and now #fork and friends simply return nil. This is the way to avoid those nasty bugs.
I really like that solution. It's simple and ensures people know what they're doing.
+1 Good to know that someone put that discussion fruits into a practical plane, even if in own fork :)
Cheers, - Andreas
