Richard,
I don't think it was silly.�� I'm sitting here thinking to myself, "Wow,
that's creative...�� Pharo being Pharo, you can write applications that can
send *blocks* between nodes, not just *data*..."��
I understand. I meant that in the world this exercise models (separate compute nodes connected by a network), the single god-like Pharo application doesn't exist and sending blocks is harder. (Although, GemStone/S does make it simple, at least if all the nodes are connected to the GemStone/S database.)
The concept of sending behaviors as well as data opens up some interesting
and powerful possibilities for applications!�� (Yet another way ST is
superior to other languages.)
Absolutely! It took a long time to *really* internalize the idea of everything is an object. Once I grokked that, it became easy to think that way all the time.
