Hello all,
Am I falling into a bad area of the image, or does Pharo poll for socket connections? Â As an example, look at ConnectionQueue>>getConnectionOrNil. Â Even the Socket waiting methods are all time-bombed. Â I would expect these methods to wait on a semaphore signalled by the vm on a socket event. Â It is one thing to offer time-bombed options, but I see nothing event driven at present :( Â Am I missing something?
Network is unreliable, thus you waiting for data/connection during some time and then abandon this idea. Without timeouts you would never have the way to interrupt the connection/data transfer if it takes too long.
