Hi folks,
I'm sending this email to both Squeak-dev and Pharo-project as you can see. This is to suggest a fix.
I typed this on a workspace:
closure := [:x | Transcript show: x]. closure value: "hey".
And when I "did it", the VM had me looking at this:
closure := [:x | Transcript show: x]. closure value: "hey". Argument expected ->
" " is a comment try with 'hey' Stef
Which is cryptic at best for a newbie. I visited #squeak@irc.freenode.net and asked there. Ken Causey helped me out and even he missed the difference between "" and '' for a second. I believe it would be beneficial to newbies to have this enhanced somehow, to point out the fact that strings aren't double-quoted.
this is like that in the language :)
Thanks,
Peter
