[Cuis-dev] How can I add another collection syntax, such as {1} & #(1) & #[1]?

[rabbit]

Yessir, if you load Crypto-rabbt.66.mcz, from SqueakSource 'Cryptology', you can find my variant of a Linda Tuple, my ETuple. I'm using #!! to concat, as you say. My thoughts are with compilable code that creates such, as in the special Compiler selectors, #( and #[. I would want to add #< as yet another Compiler special.

Cheers!

For example, (1,2,3) sends ‘, 2’ to 1 and returns a tuple with 1 and 2, and then this tuple receives ‘, 3’ and returns a tuple with 1, 2 and 3. It’s not the most efficient way of creating tuples (it creates some temporary garbage), and they are not literals, but it makes very readable code.

I'm fine with it being a read-only ETuple, so that it conforms to the convention of constructing read-ony objects :: #() . and #[]. I could sent #makeWriteableObject to. If a Tuple detects Computable, it could make itself Writeable, or when computations occur prior to replacing the computable with the result of computation. And so on and so forth. This would look as
