Frankly, its a dev tool. What else it is if not a dev tool? You have to be extremely careful, as with anything which using C or binary interfaces, but apart from it, i see nothing wrong with it.

You could, but what the point in spending a lot of hours writing a primitives for each API function, when in the end, you still will be doing pretty same thing: using external api? > That's only my opinion. > > Cheers > > Mariano > >> >> This was the plan so. >> >> Stef >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Pharo-project mailing list >> Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr >> http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project > > > _______________________________________________ > Pharo-project mailing list > Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr > http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project > -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
