Yes, I understand the paradigm, nil is nothing is zero, empty is nothing is zero... But frankly, do you think '' forms a valid Number ? In every context ? So yes, this is expected, and can break compatibility, but sometimes this is necessary.
If you want to keep this behaviour, you have to use an explicit rule like: asNumberOrZero ^Number readFrom: self ifFail: [^0]
Thanks Nicolas. Now, the question is, do you think we can create this method in String as part of Pharo core? or I should add it to my application? cheers mariano
Hope this helps...

Hi folks: In older images, like 10418, '' asNumber gave me a 0 (zero). But now, I get a 'Reading a number failed'.
Is this expected?
Perhaps it is due to the fix to this bug:

any toughs?
