We do not plan to remove self halt. We plan to have better code expansion :) like ctrl sh => self halt :) Stef On Thu, Apr 5, 2018 at 7:26 AM, Alistair Grant <akgrant0710@gmail.com> wrote:

If we remove self halt, then I won't be able to use `1halt.`. :-D which is actually what I always do, because writing `self halt` is 4 characters tooo long. :)

Would it be possible to instead have a #haltIf object to which you can send additional conditions?
Maybe we could use that as an excuse to clean more halting out of object completely e.g. self halt now self halt once self halt ifInsideTest self halt ifOutsideTest self halt xyz
Although IIRC when we first started cleaning the idea was too eventually remove all halt-related stuff from Object and only have `Halt xyz`. At the time, it seemed that was a little too scary, but even today I do not understand what objectively is gained by `self halt` vs. `Halt now`â¦
One (very small) advantage of having 'self halt' is that a few times I've had a single, long, expression that I want to halt in, and since #halt returns self it is easy to insert it in the middle of an expression.
