Perhaps you need healing from your fear of conflict. Ask your mind to reveal to you where it was you learned this emotional pattern. (its not one I have ;-) )
keith this is much more simple than that. I'm doing pharo just to avoid the endless discussions on "I need arrow for assignment". I have nearly 20 years of brain cells now if I do not die before so I do not want to spend my time on boring stuff when I can avoid it.
Another case in point, on my to do list for squeak is "a registration mechanism for menus/flaps etc". There is absolutely NO reason why such a mechanism shouldnt be specced out and developed as a loadable module for all squeak forks to adopt.
Exact. Now the point is that we do not want to keep extra layer of compatibility for the sake of it.
+1 i think making squeak compatible with outer world (use ascii ':=' instead of unicode '<-' and enable to use '_' in selectors and variables) is better than trying to be 'compatible' with 20 years old dusty stuff.
Do we have to have 2 of absolutely everything?
No but we have the right to choose and consider if we like it or not.
