[Pharo-project] [:x :y| x*x. â x + y]
Hi guys is there a naming convention for such blocks. In the chapter I called them escaping block but I also used continuation blocks. (I do not like continuation blocks since to me it is unclear) but if this is a convention I would follow it. Stef

Continuation blocks is wrong - continuations are a particular thing and this would be confusing. Escaping blocks is fine, but I call them returning blocks. I could see an argument for either ../Dave

I think these are "blocks with non-local return" :) (as opposed to blocks with "local return" like [:x :y| x*x. x + y]) Best -Tobias
