Re: [Pharo-dev] block syntax experiments

my impression is that we can focus on better improvements with larger impact,. Le 3/6/15 02:17, Francisco Garau a écrit :

Hello,

I'd like to make some syntax changes that would make block evaluation more legible.

Currently we define and evaluate blocks like this:

inc := [ : x | x + 1 ]. (inc value: 3) = 4. addTo := [ : x : y | x + y ]. (addTo value: 3 value: 4) = 7.

But I would like them to be defined like this:

[ inc: x | x + 1 ]. (inc: 3) = 4

[add: x to: y | x + y ]. (add: 3 to: 4) = 7.

What do you think? Is it feasible?

I presume it's Opal where I should start looking at implementing this changes, but any hints/suggestions are welcomed.

Cheers, Francisco
