Help! You caught me walking out the door to Germany. Will try to
answer in a day or two ;-)
Hi Dan, thanks for replying -- be gentle, I probably sounded like some
fresh kid talking nonsense about the greats from before his time (and
I'm not young! Thanks to Mark for reciting history back to
Smalltalk-72 and making me feel young, anyway ;-)). My copy of HOPL-II
was at work, so I did not check the date of Alan's quote, and probably
utterly wrongly assumed Smalltalk-80 blocks were the FEXPR successors.
You guys are my heroes for Smalltalk (all vintages, but I only know
80, used briefly on Sun workstations when I was in grad school; sadly,
my BYTE magazine with the balloons on the cover succumbed to mildew
years ago). Peace,
/be
