Steffen, My first response, is do NOT optimize too early. The performance bottlenecks are not always where we think they are.
In Pharo you can add methods to BlockClosure class. You can go up to 255 arguments IIRC. But, of course there is no primitive to handle them, so you endup writing the same code. Better use valueWithArguments: block valueWithArguments: (multipleArgs copyWith: singleArg) Noury On Apr 6 2023, at 3:28 pm, Steffen Märcker <merk...@web.de> wrote: > Hi! > > I want to evaluate a block an argument 'arg1' and additional n arguments > given in an array 'args'.
