Re: [Pharo-dev] SyntaxError: parentheses; cascades and yourself (Opal vs. old compilers parser)

The following method compiles with Opal:

createRedMorph ^ (self new color:Color red); yourself

but gives a syntax error with the old compilers parser

createRedMorph ^ (self new color:Color red)End of block expected -> ; yourself

removing the parenthesis of course works for both. Who is right ?

What is the result in other dialects? This is a potential incompatibility for little gain. Anyway I would guess Opal is wrong. cheers -ben
