Like with ifTrue:, whileTrue: and friends: you can still use futures in Squeak if you don't have FutureNode in your image, but things will just run slower.
But there is no IfTrueNode, either.
The AST models the grammar of the language, that's why it is called Syntax treeâ¦.
Sure. I have no idea why it's implemented that way. Perhaps it was easier or desirable to keep the transformation out of the base image or something. Josh Gargus might know. I would imagine that in Opal you wouldn't need to do that :) You'd hook in custom emitters somewhere, and be done. frank
