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
