As it is MIT I ported it to Pharo: Code is available on http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/SuffixConditionals One can load it from the config browser Bye T.

SuffixConditionals adds #if: and #unless methods to BlockClosure. Currently in VisualWorks but can be ported to other Smalltalks (like Pharo) as well.
Good idea! It is MIT and would be a great bridge for a Ruby community in the spirit of http://forum.world.st/a-Pharo-talk-from-a-ruby-conference-tp4756805p4757055.... : FAQ Q: ifTrue: and ifFalse: look weird to me. Why can't I have more readable control flow statements like Ruby? A: You can! Simply load SuffixConditionals from the Configuration Browser and you can write things like: [process stop] if: process isRunning and [process start] unless: process isRunning
Also would be a great answer when this inevitably comes up in the endless "why isn't Smalltalk as popular as Ruby" conversations (http://stackoverflow.com/a/438986/424245)
