Re: [Pharo-project] Replacing 'ReadStream on smth:' by 'smth readStream'
Stef, My email server crashed yesterday and was out of action for several hours. From emails I found this morning, it looks like Damien and I will cook up a plan on the Wiki. With luck, we will be able to get the RB to do the tedious work, and also leave a simple defined procedure for converting "old" code that we did not have loaded during the transformation. Transformed code should work as it always did; new code will be able to benefit from consistent semantics and exception handling. There will also be silently truncating methods for the situations (and they indeed exist) that call for them. More to come. Bill Wilhelm K.

Stef,
Whether or not I agree depends on what you mean. While I think I see where Damien is going, my read is that #on: is actually negotiable, given that we should be able to either fix (or simply replace and than alias) ReadStream - two different ways of solving the same problem. But if you concerned about breaking some things that Damien and I are committed to fixing as part of the change, then I submit that we will be helpless when we move from the relatively calm world of streams to the chaos of morphic.
You lost me. :)
Which part bothers you?
None :)
The plan is to rennovate (sometimes messy) and *then* slowly evolve the resulting stable system, right?
The plan is to move but be careful. This is why I would like you guys to tell us what you want to do (or are doing) so that we can document the changes and everybody can participate and help also fixing if necessary. I just want more organized communication when we have a "big" change. No more.
