Re: [Pharo-users] Block evaluation with n+1 arguments

BTW to me when a block needs too many arguments it feels like that an object has to be born :)
With an object I can just sent or not a given extra argument. 

Now I do not know enough your specific context but what I learned is that complex blocks are difficult to follow, manipulate…
so I keep block as simple as possible and else I create little objects.


This is a little lectures from a super cool forthcoming mooc
