string write stream

What is better?

String new writeStream

WriteStream on: String new

WriteStream on: ''

by popularity '' is the winner, however apparently not everyone is happy with that

https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/15260/WriteStream-on-new-string

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

f := Finder new.

(f sourceSearch: 'WriteStream on: ''''') size. "51"

(f sourceSearch: 'String new writeStream') size. "48"

(f sourceSearch: 'WriteStream on: String new') size. "39"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While this is not a popularity contest, we can at least poll for preferences https://strawpoll.me/5153067 :)

I prefer this one because the class of the stream is not hardcoded in my code :)

or

WriteStream on: String new

or

WriteStream on: ''

by popularity '' is the winner, however apparently not everyone is happy with that

Prefer this one, as Stef said.

or
WriteStream on: String new

Use this one only if you want to specify which type of stream.

or
WriteStream on: ''

This is the worst. It won't work in GemStone for example, because '' is a literal.

by popularity '' is the winner, however apparently not everyone is happy with that
