I have just done
something stupid, so this is just letting off steam (and maybe looking for
someone else to blame!).
I have been playing
with Moose (version 4.8), mainly because I want to experiment with PetitParser.
I am struggling a bit, but getting somewhere I think. I have been trying out a
lot of snippets in a workspace, before getting down to producing proper code. In
a fit of madness, thinking I was closing a debugger window, I closed
the workspace window. It looks as though I have lost the contents, though I can
probably reconstruct them from the changes file. My main Smalltalk experience is
with Dolphin Smalltalk, and there, if you try to close a workspace, it asks if
you want to save the contents first. Could Pharo have something similar? - or am
I the only idiot to do this?
As a supplementary
point, I am trying to use PetitParser to parse natural language. From the
examples it is clear that PP is designed with formal languages in mind. Am I
wasting my time using it on natural languages? Has anyone else tried
this?
Thanks for any
advice
Peter
