Hi, We, Smalltalkers, use bloc of code as easily as we breathe air.
I am writing an article on Smalltalk programming for a French mathematics teachers magazine. To illustrate the simplicity of Smalltalk, I would like to compare how the bloc of code 'f' and 'df' below will be implemented in Javascript and Python: f := [ :x | x cos + x ]. df := [ :x | (f value: x + 1e-8) - (f value: x) * 1e8]. Here f is a way to implement a function and df its derivate. Do some of you knows how it will be written in Javascript and Python with their own ad-hoc anonymous function?
