[Help-smalltalk] Iliad questions and comments

[Eli Green]

Hi,

I have some thoughts after a few days of playing with Iliad:

1. I was thinking of making a GNU Star package loader for Squeak with  
the option of transforming classes based on their namespace. Wouldn't  
this make importing new versions of Iliad simpler? Or are there more  
complicated compatibility issues than simply namespaces?

2. I have found that under Squeak / Pharo, error conditions were never  
returning anything to the browser, nor were they alerting me inside  
the Squeak environment. This turned out to be a much more useful  
version of ILErrorHandler>>produceDebugResponse:

produceDebugResponse
        self halt
        ^self produceVerboseResponse

It is still slightly annoying that the debug window that pops up has a  
dozen items before the real source of the error. I'm sure there's some  
way to fix this but I am a complete smalltalk newbie.

3. It's great.

Eli
