Re: I don't quite understand ...
Krampe mentions some in his blog post:
- Improved syntax for ordered collections and dictionaries, which Krampe claims make up the vast majority of collections in Smalltalk programs.
- Function parameters are not declared; they're pulled from a conceptual stack by an operation. That means a function's arity is determined only at runtime (all functions are variadic).
- Via Nim, it integrates easily with C, which means it integrates easily with a lot of legacy code.
- It has built-in support for native threads and parallel code.
I'm certainly not a Smalltalk expert, or a Ni expert for that matter, but those are some of the things Krampe is claiming.
