You're joking, right?

I mean, if this is a way of helping me understand code by "commenting it", I'd simply say Thanks, but no thanks!

If that's the way it's done in Smalltalk, I wonder where I have been the last 17 years. I haven't done this and I can't remember seeing this. And I've read and fixed quite some code in that time. This is probably done in a Smalltalk environment that has no decent version control system, just to avoid losing code you could probably need again. But I doubt anybody using Monticello or more advanced Smalltalk versioning solutions really needs such a dirty workaround.

But I cannot prove you wrong. At least that piece of code is functionally equivalent to a comment ;-)

So what you're saying is that I shouldn't worry about it. Okay, will do ;-)))

    what does this false ifTrue: thing mean here?


That's how you comment code in Smalltalk - becuase it doesn't support nested comments.
