All,

I just finished a blog entry. It shows how to use Smalltalk blocks as parsers/translators. E.g. translating a Block

� � � � [:customer | (customer joinDate year is: Date today year)]

into an SQL-like String

� � � � (YEAR(customers.joinDate) = 2014)

The SQL stuff is just an example - you can create nearly any output.

Maybe that's old stuff for some of you - but I hope it's interesting for some at least :-)

Comments and feedback appreciated.

CU,

Udo
