Learning curves any different?
Thanks!

Your personal learning curve will be significantly enhanced should you
elect to pay closer attention to your spelling, English Teacher.

Yes, "purl" is a much better spelling of "perl" than "pearl" is, eh, troll? En************@ ModernEnglish.c om (English Teacher) wrote in message news:<b0******* *************** ***@posting.goo gle.com>... Which would be a more useful language to learn, Smalltalk or Pearl?

They are both useless and dead. Learn Java/JSP/EJB or MS Dotnet (VBnet or C#).

apart from the fact that this is FUD, Smalltalk is very good for
learning even if not used as much as Java or C#, which both will not
teach you good OO concepts.
BTW: who needs this Thread on newsgroups for foto equipment???

Whatever the truth, do you have the brains to stop x-posting this
nonsense to rec.woodworking and the photo groups.

Oops. Sorry. Not quite got the hang of this newsreader yet.

I don't know smalltalk, but Perl was fairly easy to move to from ksh
(Unix Korn shell). It's more C-like than ksh, has a bizzillion
modules to do anything from graphics to networking, and is always
updated.
It's current, and quite alive.

Hi all!
I've heard good things about SmallTalk, and I read that the IDE is
extremely productive. Why is this the case? What are the technical
points where Python and SmallTalk differ? Is SmallTalk really faster
than Python?
I tried Objective-C, but eventually dropped it for lack of support and
the need to use NS-type classes to do anything productive. Python's
built in containers and types are so much more concise. But if

I doubt this is the correct group to post this in, but since I couldn't find
a better place, here goes.
Smalltalk is a very mature, highly portable pure object language. From my
view of it, it lacks the development and marketing support that a company
like Microsoft can supply.
Why hasn't Microsoft looked at Smalltalk products like Visualworks and
considered taking them over? I know that this language has a huge potential
given a...

In its day, was it _really_ designed by snobby programmers to scare away

why are programming languages still being designed with C's syntax?
These questions drive me insane. Every waking minute...

I have two subclasses of SpriteModel (1) LocalSprite (2)Sprite
Both implement a method called .ToXml() which returns an XmlDocument. But
they are different.
I instances of these objects stored in a Hashtable. Extracting them from the
Hashtable means that I get a object that is tentatively an instance of Class
Object (or Type Object to use the correct C# word).
I can HARD cast the object to a SpriteModel, and then invoke the .ToXml()

Hi all,
sorry if it isn't the right group (and sorry for the cross post, but
it's a cross- question :P ), but i'm not sure where to post. I have a
python library and i want to be able to call it from smalltalk (the
squeak implementation in particular..). I was just wondering if there
is a standard mechanism to do it. On windows i know i can create in
python a COM server and call it from smalltalk, but i wonder if there

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
