Hi folks,
I'm sending this email to both Squeak-dev and Pharo-project as you can see.
This is to suggest a fix.
I typed this on a workspace:
closure := [:x | Transcript show: x].
closure value: "hey".
And when I "did it", the VM had me looking at this:
closure := [:x | Transcript show: x].
closure value: "hey". Argument expected ->
Which is cryptic at best for a newbie.
I visited #squeak at irc.freenode.net and asked there.
Ken Causey helped me out and even he missed the difference between "" and ''
for a second.
I believe it would be beneficial to newbies to have this enhanced somehow,
to point
out the fact that strings aren't double-quoted.
Thanks,
Peter
