hi, I'm just starting out w/ pharo and have a question re your code;
specifically, in
reject:
[ :word | (word sameAs: aWord) or: [ word asLowercase asBag ~=
charBag ] ]
is that inner block needed? would it be less smalltalk-esque to write, say:
reject:
[ :w | (w = aWord) or: (w asLowercase asBag ~= charBag) ]
thx!
separately recently I watched an alan kay interview in which he says an oo
program is typically much smaller than its imperative counterpart and i
wondered why. Well, it seems that reduction comes from the language/system
providing a zillion methods -- asBag, here -- one would otherwise need to
implement, oneself :)
