I've been playing with NativeBoost so a lot of my development time has
been in Pharo. I was having problems with simple syntax so I decided to
fileout my class and test it in the latest squeak.
A problem: class AlphaImage doesn't exist in squeak, so the filein
process ended up defining my class to be a subclass of ProtoObject...
OK, sorta makes sense: don't guess, just give the lowest possible point
in the hierarchy. Even so, the first time I tried to create an instance
of the class, I recived debugging messages complaining about how the
object didn't understand the message newForm:, as you might expect...
then the debugger itself kept on popping up the same error message as I
tried to enter the debugger window.
Working as intended?
Anyway, just an interesting gotcha when programming in Pharo and porting
back to squeak.
