I would use any of the following:
ex := {
#track->#pharo.
#language->#smalltalk.
#exercises->{
#slug->'hello'.
#id->55.
#topics->#('a' 'b' 'c') } asDictionary } asDictionary.
ex := {
#track->#pharo.
#language->#smalltalk.
#exercises->({

#id->55.

Actually thats quite a good suggestion - it probably should have been:

#downTo:

What's missing is a "map" syntax. :)

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your thoughtful followup.

Obviously its good to be circumspect at such an earlier stage,
but I can imagine a few "good" editors who publishing a book would really
lend some legitimacy and exposure to Pharo.
That would be overall beneficial even if the book is not free.
Stef, I am interested to know more.

Why would this not happen ? It is just one selector more.
I think the only possible issue is that #to:do: is known by the
compiler, which makes it faster than any other iteration, even do: -
there is always a tradeoff between re
Is it consistent with the definition of #= in String such that
'aSymbol = aString' iff 'aString = aSymbol'?
Sorry, I don't have an image at hand.

Ah, it is an optimisation: if the first #== fails, but the argument is also a
Symbol, then that means the are different for sure, so false is returned early,
instead of failing in super's #= after that.
And with ByteSymbol and WideSymbol, although they are exclusive (can never be
equal), they c

Hey - sometimes these more philosophical conversations do amount to something.
I will propose to gene changes and submit a pr - as after all, Pharo is ours
and pointing someone to #downTo: or #upTo: would be very rewarding (and for
Richard - #to: would remain the same so everyone wins)

Hey Ben,
I leave it with this answer, as you suggested, thank you for picking up
the ball!
First, I admit again, I have thought about it one whole day, if and how
I should do this "intervention", which is absolutly not my usual style,
but I decided for myself, to be intentionally blunt, provoc

I did some progress on the Dr.Geo bundle for OS X.
The Mac admin of my school told me to download from Safari and

Of you load the JSON package from Squeaksource
(http://www.squeaksource.com/JSON.html)
You can do a

'language' -> 'smalltalk'.
'exercises' -> {
'slug' -> 'hello'.
'id' -> 55.
'topics' -> #('a' 'b' 'c') }
}
and get a Json string or add e
