Updated syntax postcard

Hi,

for the Wikipedia article I prepared an updated version of Phar syntax postcard:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/Pharo_syntax_postcard.svg

Cheers,

Re: Updated syntax postcard

This is a really nice overview!

Two "p" characters are rendered weirdly for me (Chrome 66), but the remaining "p"s are good. The zoom level doesn't matter.

Could you please include keyword message with multiple parameters? From my teaching this always confuses people. :)

And if you want it to be really complete (maybe you've just missed these): annotation for block (only block parameter is annotated), and mayhaps definition of unary/binary message?

Re: Updated syntax postcard

Cool & beautiful !

The $p are good for me.

I agree with the other remarks.

I would love a big A4 landscape version.

Ha ha, I love the real-postcard look!

Two things:
1. "metod name" at the top is missing an $h
2. Might it be worthwhile to add something like "compile-time" to "literal
array" to better distinguish from "array generate at runtime"?

Super light gray on white is hard to see for me (and I guess other vision challenged people).

Other than that, yes, definitely great.

I would love to see:

select: thenCollect:

Or at lease collect: since this is where we do have more power.

do: yeah but not that inspiring.

I see & but not

aBool and: [ ...]

The latter is more in line with the actual usage, no?

Looks cool. I thought all the offtake lines made it a bit busy,

so I thought I'd see what it looked like without them.

Please review the result attached.

Along the way, I ended up making a few other changes..

a. Rather than using #'I''m' as the symbol-string,

the similarity of #'a' to #a better highlights the differences.

'I''m' is better as the string example since its not mixing in the concept symbols.

b. The word "generated" associates strongly with code generation

"runtime created array" seemed better, or just "runtime array".

c. The description "boolean literal" and "nil literal" contain redundant information.

btw, a few questions...

d. Is a symbol a literal?

e. Are scaled decimals, floating points, strings and characters all literals?

Their color is different from boolean, nil and integer literals.

I had a go at Phil's suggestions to add #select:thenCollect

and #and: , which stimulated a few other changes - see attached.

but I screwed up some of the line weights, and not yet sure the best way to fix them.
