We recently discussed about Glamour. The example below illustrates well the
"magic" effect that some of us (including my students) do not really adhere with
DSL:
Something like this:
a list
allowItemDrag: [:item :list | ... ];
itemDrag: [:item :list | ... ]
a list
allowDropOnItem: [:draggedObject :targetItem :list | ... ];
dropOnItem: [:draggedObject :targetItem :list | ... ]
It is often not clear what the object referenced by "a" is. Even for me.
When I write scripts in Mondrian, I usually avoid having "each".
view nodes: Collection withAllSubclasses forEach: [ :aClass | ... ].
Instead of
view nodes: Collection withAllSubclasses forEach: [ :each | ... ].
Cheers,
Alexandre
