I think the important lesson here is that you eventually learn patterns, so once you know what this does it's no longer less or more readable because it became habituated. P

Not only isn't it easier to understand, it's harder. With collections "do:" normally means enumeration (do:, allButLastDo:, reverseDo:), but ifNotEmptyDo: doesn't enumerate the receiver. > Sent: Sunday, October 11, 2015 at 5:29 AM > From: "Marcus Denker" <marcus.denker(a)inria.fr> > To: "Any question about pharo is welcome" <pharo-users(a)lists.pharo.org> > Subject: Re: [Pharo-users] ifNotEmpty(Do): > > > > On 10 Oct 2015, at 18:55, Peter UhnÃ¡k <i.uhnak(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Collection>>ifNotEmpty: comment says > > > > "If the block has an argument, eval with the receiver as its argument, > > but it might be better to use ifNotEmptyDo: to make the code easier to > > understand" > > > > We should update the comment.

I reported several and try to look at. It is hard to see how these situations evolves, because an application development cycle does not follow the Pharo one (for example Dr.Geo is still based to Pharo3) Hilaire -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu http://google.com/+DrgeoEu

Yes I understand but with Pharo 30 and 40 I did not get this feeling. Also introducing package and tag makes things more complex. and I was talking about Pharo 50. I think that we will have probably some glitches because we cleaned a lot of code. And we will have to do another pass. I think that as a community we should report and help us to fix all the tools glitches.

But we should improve. It would be good to have someone taking that challenge because he would impact our all lives :) Le 10/10/15 12:22, Werner Kassens a Ã©crit : > On 10/10/2015 09:50 AM, stepharo wrote: >> the code should be in the image :) > > Hi Stephane, > of course. but sometimes i only discover some nice pharo code by > reading a paper. i discovered ocompletion in the image only after > having read that paper mentioned by Peter, and - thinking "yes, that > should work" - after trying out ocompletion i noticed that it is > indeed better than the default setting <g>. > werner > >

by Yuriy Tymchuk

Yes, ifNotEmptyDo: and ifNotNilDo: are for compatibility with other Smalltalks. The rule was added to communicate this in some way. Cheers.

Thanks cyril I tried and I will try to reproduce it. If this happens again please try to tell us - was it when you removed one method? - was it when you removed multiple methods?
