Slate does this, but at the library level, without the usual higher-
order method hacks (but using some convenient macros). I've never been a fan of F-Script's syntax change to make this work. We do have generic "point-free style" adverb methods defined on blocks which allow writing in a concatenative style. They were inspired by K, although the wording is a bit different. I don't really have time to go over this here, but most of the code is in src/lib/method.slate in the Slate repository (see http:// slate.tunes.org/ ). I suppose http://slate.tunes.org/repos/main/src/lib/method.slate will give you the quickest way to look. On Mar 12, 2006, at 5:54 AM, Steven H.

"functional" as in "referentially transparent" or "Squeak
replacement"? :) It's no Squeak replacement yet, if that's what you mean. There are a lot of libraries and good shell script style support. There's a GUI, but Slate has the Strongtalk architecture without a working dynamic Strongtalk-style compiler (there's one... but it's not hooked in), so the libraries are relatively slow. Now is not the time for the me-too hackers to join in; Slate's at the stage where the go-getters need to come in and work creatively on it. I don't need dead-weight, I need people who want to hack on system stuff. On Mar 13, 2006, at 7:17 PM, Steven H. Rogers wrote: > Thanks Brian.
