It's a connector, which generalizes these concepts. Assignment is a special case of this connector, in that the connection is removed immediately after it is created, and yes, I expect this to be very common. I also expect this to be polymorphic like a message-send, but that requires more work.<br />Marcel Weiherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11651004661887001433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397311766319215218.post-83210272852431231262015-09-27T21:46:58.450+02:002015-09-27T21:46:58.450+02:00is that |= part of the syntax or is it just anothe...is that |= part of the syntax or is it just another message send? Instead of introducing a new operator wouldn't a keyword be easier to understand? or is that something that's going to be used equally often as the assignment operator?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125261266313171921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397311766319215218.post-42918144319570199022015-09-27T10:24:23.351+02:002015-09-27T10:24:23.351+02:00Thanks for the heads-up, should be fixed now.Thanks for the heads-up, should be fixed now.Marcel Weiherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11651004661887001433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397311766319215218.post-30360015450641167652015-09-27T04:20:34.280+02:002015-09-27T04:20:34.280+02:00In the last graph, did you possibly mean that as t...In the last graph, did you possibly mean that as the right hand side changes, the left hand should be updated, instead of the other way around?Alex Bassonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268747159425820138noreply@blogger.com
