Question

I am not sure if this is in the right topic area, but a quick question, is squeak easy to learn?

Re: Question

Re: Question

squeak has pretty weird syntax, i must say
and i find it extremely difficult to read a code and know what it does because you have 10-20 code lines in each method, and each method is located somewhere else, and classes are divided in categories, which doesn't really help locate them by name.
i often find myself searching the whole code for a method name just to find out where it's defined  smile

Thanks, I looked at the spueak website and I could even slightly figure out what 10ish lines of code did  smile
