well�� is not forbidden, of course��
but many frameworks use basicNew as a way of obtain *explicitly* non-initialized objects (voyage does that, for instance).

that��s why we have new and basicNew :)

the space may be needed during #initialize.
this is why the initialization of the space is done in
basicNew.
But ok, we will fix that.

you can define new as:

new
^ self basicNew
basicSpace: BlUniverse default runningSpace;
initialize;
yourself

that��s perfectly fine :)

this is how I intended to fix it.

other possibility is to lazy initialise space with the default universe.

maybe, I don��t know.

why redefining new is not enough?

Ok now back to the mooc videos :(
