Since I just started to work with Moose, here are my few comments.
Instead of
E1 >> attr
^ attr
E1 >> attr: anObject
^ attr := anObject
I understand the two methods above.
you as base programmer will write
E1 >> attr
^self wideVarAt: #attr ifAbsentr: [ nil ]
E1 >> attr: anObject
self wideVarAt: #attr put: anObject
I do not understand them. I guess that wide classes is somehow
related to collective behavior?
The same for the collective state, instead of
E2 >> parent
^parent
E2 >> parent: anObject
parent := anObject
Those two methods are easy to understand.
you as base programmer will write
E2 >> parent
^self groupVarAt: #parent ifAbsentr: [ nil ]
E2 >> parent: anObject
^self groupVarAt: #parent put: anObject
I do not understand them.
I am now diving into moose. Adding more comments on classes and
methods will probably help more newcomers than adding wide classes/
collective behavior. I am maybe wrong, but this is the problem I am
now facing.
my 2 pesos
Cheers
