Re: [Pharo-users] Why do #select:thenXxx methods not return their result

by Peter UhnÃ¡k

How do you mean? (1 to: 10) select: #odd thenCollect: [ :x | x ** 2 ] "-> #(1 9 25 49 81)" It wouldn't make sense otherwise to have the collect method if it wouldn't return anything.

Why do #select:thenXxx methods not return their result

by Tim Mackinnon

Hi - are the methods like #select:thenCollect: frowned upon? They seem quite readable , however in using them Iâve noticed that unlike the core methods they done return the result of evaluation (they are missing a ^). This is a shame, but possibly an oversight? Tim Sent from my iPhone

Re: [Pharo-users] Is it bad to have an order NeoJsonObject?

by Tim Mackinnon

Thanks guys - it seems like I was on the right track. Making my own NeoJsonObject did work, but I will go back and see if Iâm really using the js nature of the values and if for this, just an OrderedDictionary might be clearer. As an aside, I was doing some experiments with prismic.io (a headless cms) and the order of your content when rendering it on a page(generically) is obviously important.
