Hi Offray,
Yes, I definitely agree with you that Lua does not have the nice development
environment of Pharo (what other language does?), and is very bare-bones, as
it was originally intended for embedded applications. I've gone through
nearly all of the online version of the Pharo MOOC now, and

Hi Offray,
You probably know that you can develop Lua using OOP techniques, so they're
not so opposite for me, at least. There is a significant difference as far
as their OOP styles, however: Lua OOP is prototype-based, not class-based.
But you can fashion class(like) objects in Lua and progra
Hi,
Is nice to see this similitude between Lua and Pharo. We have been using
both in the Grafoscopio[1] project, because Lua is Pandoc's default
choice for embedded scripting language, and is pretty fast on the
Abstract Syntax Tree filters.

I was going to ask about coroutines and continuations, but I thought maybe
bringing these subjects up in another thread would be more appropriate
Blocks in current Smalltalk system are just like lambdas in Scheme.
Pharo even has continuations (see the Continuation class).

I beg your pardon.. and thank you for being the first to draw my attention to
the fact that the phrase (a common enough American colloquialism) is
actually a logical fallacy. Until now, it's been strictly idiomatic to me.

Richard,
Question from someone still fairly new to Smalltalk:
To implement the example you gave regarding mutually recursive functions in
Lua, one must write something like this:
local f, g
function g ()
f()
end
function f ()
g()
end
where the
Suppose you want a pair of mutually recursive functions.
They have to be able to name each other.
In languages like Python and Ruby, you can have
methods AND you can have named functions. In fact
Python had named functions before it had objects.
But in Smalltalk, you have methods, which cannot be

On a similar line - I’ve often noticed that an interesting block pattern in
Smalltalk which is overlooked in other languages is how we handle errors
through them.
We often don’t throw exceptions but instead pass a useful block (and often 2)
for what to do instead.

It is an important restriction on Python. So Javasctip has several way

One point worth making is that Python lambdas are artificially restricted:
the body of a Python lambda may only be a single expression, not a sequence
of statements. This restriction is for ideological reasons (the BDFL does
not *want* you to do that) not for technical reasons. Lisp and Algol 68

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 Javas
