Excellent article. I think GLORP uses a similar technique to setup its expressions, and also have issues with #and:/#or: selectors due to inlining, so it uses AND:/#OR: instead. Regards! Esteban A.

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
