Re: [Pharo-project] {Spam?} about printOnDelimiter vs asStringOn: delimiter:
Stef, I suspect that Object Arts would favor #printOn:delimiter:. They would also probably have a #displayOn:delimeter: method. Their approach is that one 'displays' for users and 'prints' for developers; they generally don't much like #as* methods, with the exception of true conversion methods (such as #asOrderedCollection, etc.). #displayOn: is used my morphic, which will cause me some hassles some time soon.

I would like to have your point of view on the following: on the class collection there are two methods asStringOn: aStream delimiter: delimString asStringOn: aStream delimiter: delimString last: lastDelimString printOn: aStream delimiter: delimString printOn: aStream delimiter: delimString last: lastDelimString which are nearly doing the same. I suggest to remove the printOn: version since it prints: '1'', ''2'' & ''3'. while asString '1, 2 & 3' I do not see any use of the printOn version and there is no sender (except tests that I will remove :).

vw has also the printOn: versus displayString distinction. But here the point to have ' inside the string (ie the printString of the contained element ) does not make too much sense to me. stef On Jan 16, 2009, at 8:44 PM, Bill Schwab wrote:
