Now, who is creative enough to add âdynamic arrayâ (one with curly braces) and temporaries in a block to the original thing:
Don't forget a block array literal, a pragma, a long binary selector and thisContext. Personally I don't like "(each class name)". It implies one always has to parenthesize unary message sequences. The first isn't so good either since it isn't necessary. Why not true & (false not & nil isNil) ? exampleWithNumber: x
| y | true & false not & (nil isNil) ifFalse: [self halt]. y := self size + super size. #($a #a "a" 1 1.0) do: [ :each | Transcript show: (each class name); show: ' ']. ^x < y

Googling around finds various copies of this, but no original source.

I think that it would be interesting to put the syntax on a postcard. It can work as a proof of concept, some addition cheat-sheet for newcomers and also as some king of souvenir.

Hi guys,
we all are talking about the syntax fitting in a postcard, but was there any real postcard with Pharo syntax prototype? This would be really interesting.
