Hi Folks,
I spent some time yesterday together with Stef to take a closer look at the Pharo scripting project.
We have repackaged and renamed the project as "Coral". It is available on SqueakSource at:
I really didnt understand what Coral Saphire was all about, in InstallerLauncher you could ask squeak to execute a script and output to stdout. When I looked at Saphir I could see all sorst of parsers etc. Whats it all for?
Having a grammar? Smalltalk has no language element to define classes and methods. There is only "fileout" syntax. (expressions seperated by ! that get evaluated when loaded). Nobody wants to write scripts that way. And the proof is that nobody does it. Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- denker@acm.org http://www.marcusdenker.de
