In the "common constructs" conditionals and iterations tables, the Java appears on the left and the Smalltalk on the right. In other tables the Smalltalk occurs on the left and the explanation appears on the right. Hence, in the conditionals and iterations tables, put the Java on the right.

I agree that enumeration is more useful but it wouldn't be bad to have something in there to indicate the 1-index nature, such as *'abcd' at: 2* will result in $b That's all I was suggesting. Actually, having some cheat sheet on basic enumeration wouldn't be bad as that is a real strength of

I think that it could be interesting to use it also on a simple HTML page for the Pharo web site. This document can be put in the main menu ("Beginners" ?) just before "Documentation". It's really cool to have a synthesis document for the newcomers. 2016-04-09 8:09 GMT+02:00 Ben Coman

Thanks great. As we are looking language cheatsheet, a few minutes ago, I was reading an old news[1] about OCaml[2], here its cheatsheet[3]. It is said to be a great language, supported by INRIA as well, with strong type. But Pharo makes me fell more comfortable when complexity need to be

It looks good. I might mention that most data structures are 1 indexed as most other languages tend to be 0 indexed and that throws people new to the language. On Fri, Apr 8, 2016 at 3:58 PM stepharo wrote: > new cheatsheet for Pharo syntax. > Any feedback is welcome > > Stef
