Hi Edgar, all;
[warning: large and non-spellchecked :-) ]
Markus and all working in "Future Squeak" Please I beg a clear "why us think ..." page somewhere.
[...snip...]
Sorry if I wasting your time, but as String refactoring is causing me some problems, I really scare some radical as touching CompiledMethods.
IMHO, the real problem is related with thinking one can make the other's future a better place to live :-) The plans and actions taken to define/force a future only make visionaries and is not compromised with evolution nor with the present. (use of vision put is to use only object orientation, the future and is not related with reality/present)
When we do a plan, we make a change; but it does not mean in any way evolution. It only guaranty risk and pain (generally of the others, the users of our invent/machine). So it is very important to make little/slow/invisible changes and reinforce education to evade the continuos proliferation of non-relevant/regional enhacements.
The addition of native changes [*] increase the risk of failures and bad use of the additions increasing garbage. Any explisit evaluation of risk and how the garbage will be controlled and mantained under control is a very important ingredient of a plan.
[*] specially for changes in the way we think about behavior. The adoption of a model where behavior is anObject (and e.g. many species of behaviors are drawn), must be revised and the convenience demostrated with a proper evaluation of the "side effects" in people. To fraction/split behavior in smaller parts can be helpfull in low term but will put us in the same problem faced by physicians decades ago, when they thought that all can/must be modelled by objects... reducing the world to written words.
Why some members think inheritance is not enough ?
Inheritance is a technique, has it´s limits as any technique. But there are more techniques for delegation than inheritance.
To see the other techniques as hacks, in my opinion, reveals a lack of education and show us we have to make more efforts in education. Building more primitive tools for applying the techniques si not enough to ensure good use of them. (is like making machines to recollect garbage and not to focus on the garbage generation activities)
best, Ale.

I still fighting the Squeak underworld and now I really confused.

What's wrong of having a Class in the usual way with the internals suited
to
your wish ?

Maybe I total miss the point ?
