Stef, we need to think about it carefullly. Streams are used in the kernel for many tasks. Replacing them by a big framework will be a huge drawback for bootstrapping purposes.
Alternatively, we could think of refactoring the kernel to not use streams, but so far this is not possible... the kernel uses the compiler and the code importer that depend on parsing streams... We should plan :) On Sat, Jan 21, 2017 at 10:07 PM, stepharong <stephar...@free.fr> wrote: > Yes I should finish to convert everything. > I hope that in Pharo 70 we will be able add Xtream like library and remove > the old stream > but this is large task. > > stef > > > On Sat, 21 Jan 2017 21:06:34 +0100, p...@highoctane.be <p...@highoctane.be> > wrote: > > There is also this > > https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PharoLimbo/tree/master/Xtreams > > > > On Sat, Jan 21, 2017 at 3:08 PM, Peter Uhnak <i.uh...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Sat, Jan 21, 2017 at 02:01:59PM +0100, Denis Kudriashov wrote: >> > Hi. >> > >> > 2017-01-20 16:15 GMT+01:00 Peter Uhnak <i.uh...@gmail.com>: >> > >> > > In Ruby it is dead simple: >> > > str[/\[(.*)\]/,1].hex # "=> 37" >> > > >> > >> > I always wondering when people think it is dead simple. >> > I use streams for such cases.
