TX!!!! I think that we should be more aggressive with the tools we have. I'm currently going over the 25000 issues raised by SmallLint and entering issues in the bugtracker.
wow, great!
I think that we will need to add annotations so that smallLint does not get warning us when we know that this is not a problem
yes, this is very important. We do that with pragmas (see Lukas' mail). Lint rules are part of the conventional tests and the rule is that these must be green. There are cases where Lint complains but you know it is ok. If we couldn't annotate these methods as ok, the whole thing would not work.
In the long term, I think it would be really cool if we manage to get the Pharo core Lint-clean!
YESYESYES!!! We have great tools and an extremely powerful language and we should use them to make the code robust, nice and cool. Stef
