Hello, a mean to achieve behavior modification of methods at runtime could be context oriented programming (COP). It allows a method to have multiple behavior variations that can be (de)activated dynamically. However to my knowledge there is no context oriented extension for Pharo yet.
I would also be interested by any known way to change method behavior dynamically, as COP is not an option for now. Maybe by working on ast nodes, by dynamically replacing them ? Steven.
