ok here is my take on it: - I would like to have a mini kernel where date time is just good enough for what the system needs - then people load the framework they want and yes I love aconcagua and chalten but there is also chronos so you see I would prefer that people pick the one they like. Now people can have a different opinion and I would like to hear them :) Stef On Aug 23, 2010, at 11:45 PM, Mariano Abel Coca wrote:
As an off topic of 3 seconds...
Have you considered to include Hernán Wilkinson and Maximiliano Taborda's packages Aconcagua and Chalten in Pharo Dev?
Chalten is a great Time framework and much better than the ansi Smalltalk 80's Time class, even with the addition of Duration. And it represents the Minute and Second concepts along with Month, Day, DayOfMonth, MonthOfYear, etc. :)
With Chalten you could simply write: December second, 2005.
If you want to try them, just evaluate:
Gofer new squeaksource: 'Chalten'; package: 'Chalten'; load.
Cheers,
Mariano.

I would really like to have the approach proposed by K. Beck on conversion methods. Conversion methods for API compatible objects. Of course it will lead to less compact program (URL readFrom: 'http://' instead of 'http://' url) but avoids a lot of code in String (of course class extensions limit the plague).
Hi, please reconsider this. There is just no way (Duration seconds: 3) is better than '3 seconds'.
This smacks of working for the computer instead of the other way around.
