Re: [Newbies] Smalltalk and coroutines

According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coroutine#Implementations_for_Smalltalk and other sources coroutines can be implemented in Smalltalk, but I've not had the chance to find a way to do it. Can you please help me, if you know how this can be done?

Have a look at the class ContextPart, especially the method #swapSender:. thisContext is a special variable that returns the current execution context, an instance of ContextPart.

You might also want to have a look at Seaside (www.seaside.st). It comes with an implementation of Continuations in plain Smalltalk. This is a bit more than what you are asking for, but it also uses #swapSender: at some point to switch back to a previous execution context.
