From: "Lex Spoon" lex@cc.gatech.edu In Morphic, they're actually already gone. That's why you can
scroll a text pane
and have your BouncingAtomsMorph keep bouncing around while you do
it. Of
course, the logic for menus and for text highlighting and things
like that, which
take a long time to execute, are made more complicated because
they have to store
intermediate states in instance variables--the extra interactivity
is not for
free.
Wouldn't that added complexity go away if an asynchronous message/event delivery model were used so that these tasks could be coded as plain methods that wait for messages to arrive?
