Ok, I'm going slightly off-topic here. But what makes me wonder is that it is
Behavior>>isAbstractClass
and not
Class>>isAbstractClass

And it will also require modifying the Pharo by Example book that says that there's nothing wrong with instantiating abstract classes and that there is no *abstract* class marker in this sense, only abstract methods.
So, why would try to convert Pharo to another language ?

Hi!
Just wondering. What about redefining new into: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Behavior>>new "Answer a new initialized instance of the receiver (which is a class) with no indexable variables. Fail if the class is indexable." self isAbstractClass ifTrue: [ self error: 'An abstract class cannot be instantiated' ]. ^ self basicNew initialize -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This may break a lot of code however.
