Hk Andrea,
I had a quick look at Lift. Being able to express the queries on MooseGroups is a nice addon.
But I think it would have been much nicer keeping the syntax of MooseChef.
Instead of:
(aNamespaceGroup lift: #incomingInvocations from:self mooseModel allMethods) asMooseGroup
why don't you use:
aNamespaceGroup queryIncomingInvocations atNamespaceScope
which according to MooseChef syntax should return the same thing ?
I trust you will agree the second is more elegant , and it has the advantage of keeping the same syntax, so we don't need to learn a new syntax

Hi,
I developed a small extension which allows to query a moose model to obtain a set of implicit associations derived from low level relationships. What you can do concretely is for example to select a group of namespace entities, and ask for all implicit associations existing between the selected entities based on a specific relationship existing at a lower abstraction level (i.e.: the method level). The end result is much similar to the one provided by Moose Chef, with the advantage of being much more generic and flexible. Each generated association keeps a reference to the concrete relationships on which it is based on.
If you are interested, you can try it out at: http://www.squeaksource.com/Lift.html The wiki page contains some usage examples.
cheers, Andrea
