Michael couldn't join us this week - we scheduled for Sunday morning, and he just wasn't able to stay awake that long. David and I discussed some little known features in Cincom Smalltalk:

  • thisContext - the sixth reserved word
  • what "super" really means
  • constants in other bases 2r10110101 7r463250
  • Symbol literals with embedded quotes, spaces, etc eg. #'that''s amazing!'
  • printStringRadix:
  • byte-array literals #[3 8 98]
  • expandMacros
  • PrintConverter
  • user-defined pragmas
  • compilerClass
  • SmalltalkCompiler >> evaluate:
  • SmalltalkCompiler >> parse:class: -- using a visitor to traverse the parse tree

We had a good conversation - give it a listen and send us some feedback. Another way to let us know what you think - leave a review on the iTunes podcast page (search for Smalltalk), or on the Podcast Alley page.
