Just listening to Helms and Peters Out Loud podcast on the CF 8 wishlist - probably old news for everyone, but made me think. There was a lot of stuff about ColdFusion isn't Java, we don't need interfaces etc., with which I totally agree.
The thing that made me think was this statement - "Smalltalk doesn't have static methods, neither does Ruby". The implication being that static methods are just another Java thing that doesn't apply to dynamic languages. Am I missing some crucial distinction between static methods and class methods? I don't know Java well enough to be sure, but the Ruby docs actually state that they are equivalent. I don't know Ruby, but can anyone imagine Smalltalk without class methods and variables?
