Re: [Pharo-project] another fun case for Linked>>add:

He had the idea that it would be nice to be able to add any object to a LinkedList, instead of just Link subclasses. (IIRC, 'like you can in Ruby' ;))

So we added ValueLink as the common pattern for "A link with an object in it", which is now the default if you add an object which itself is not a link.

Makes it much more convenient to actually use a LinkedList, ref. f.ex. the Stack implementation.

LinkedList is used internally by the process scheduler to handle processes, I don't think that it is ment to be used as a public collection class. For probably all applications it is slower and uses more memory than an OrderedCollection. Lukas -- Lukas Renggli www.lukas-renggli.ch
