@scott looking forward to reading your experiences with it.

@vga256 It's wild already. We're 24 pages in, and we added a method to an existing class..we didn't create a new class and inherit, we just uh...modified the system's String class directly.

@scott that's awesome. liking it already.

i don't think people realize just how much ptsd there is to recover from after decades of c/c++. i'm still trying to forget the word class and trying to understand things in terms of prototypes and clones

@vga256 To be fair, that was a pretty contrived example - We could have created a new class inheriting from string and added our method. It was mostly demonstrating the use of the browser.

Something else wild - you can search for methods by providing the receiver of a message, and what the answer to that message should be - it will find a selector (a message, or method if you will) that returns what you are looking for. It's so...different

@scott @vga256 FWIW, I have heard that the branch of is cleaner and leaner.
