And how it is different on how things are? It will be easier for me to understand your though.

Smalltalk was built at a time where the circumstances were vastly different than they are today. Therefore I think that building Objects on the concept of individual actors which each have proper isolation inside them and you send them a message, which gets put into an inbox internally and then when the object has time get's processed and an answer is sent is a better continuation of the object message passing style than to introduce special objects like whole images who now are supposed to have parallel capabilities and others don't. </pre> </div> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- GNU Dr. Geo <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://drgeo.eu">http://drgeo.eu</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://pouet.chapril.org/@hilaire">https://pouet.chapril.org/@hilaire</a></pre> </body> </html>
