There are several reasons for the absence of #join:
- the most important one is, that nobody needs it (or else you would have
found it). Imagine Pearl with the full Squeak Stream hierarchy, why use
join?
- streaming is more flexible when you keep control, it allows better
maintainable and adaptable code.
- #join: must be implemented in *base* classes in order to work. String
streamContents: [:...] must not be implemented anywhere, it's always where
want need it.
Just my CHF 0.05
