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 Kenny
