Cheers all
I have noticed that I often ends up with quite a number of nested expressions, for example:
(((json at: 'tree')
select: [ :e | (e at: 'type') = âblob' ])
collect: [:e | Path from: (e at: 'path')])
select: [ :p | p segments last
in: [ :name | (name endsWith: '.md') | (name endsWith: '.mic') ] ]
What kind of proposals (if any) have been for a different syntax which could give a more streamlined syntax?
My own thinking has been around an alternative to the cascade semicolon. What symbol to use does not matter for me, but something like
json at: âtree' º
select: [ :e | ((e at: 'type') = 'blobâ)]º
collect: [:e | Path from: (e at: 'pathâ)]º
select: [ :p | p segments last
in: [ :name | (name endsWith: '.md') | (name endsWith: '.mic') ] ]
Basically, a send the right hand expression to the result of the left hand expression.
Has anyone ever tried this, or is it just one of the many small annoyances best left alone?
Best,
Kasper
