New Thing I love/hate about smalltalk
doesNotUnderstand: aMessage

delegates do: [:each | (each respondsTo: aMessage selector) ifTrue: [each perform: aMessage selector withArguments: aMessage arguments]]

and to be complete

respondsTo: aSelector

delegates do: [:each | (each respondsTo: aSelector) ifTrue: [^true]].
^false

I can never tell if it's pseudo-code or the real thing.

Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.

New Its real


Smalltalk is dangerous. It is a drug. My advice to you would be don't try it; it could ruin your life. Once you take the time to learn it (to REALLY learn it) you will see that there is nothing out there (yet) to touch it. Of course, like all drugs, how dangerous it is depends on your character. It may be that once you've got to this stage you'll find it difficult (if not impossible) to "go back" to other languages and, if you are forced to, you might become an embittered character constantly muttering ascerbic comments under your breath. Who knows, you may even have to quit the software industry altogether because nothing else lives up to your new expectations.
