The best system for object-oriented thinking
- 1. Smalltalk: the best system for object-oriented *thinking* http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr http://www.pharo.org
- 2. A word of presentation • Inria research director (was scientific deputee 2011-2014) • Leads RMOD team (~20 people) • founder and active developer of Pharo (http:// www.pharo.org • founder of synectique.eu (company)
- 3. Reflecting on our daily practice and experience
- 4. Properties we see • Turtles all the way down • Uniform and elegant • Simple oo model • But powerful to build really large applications • Open system • Learn from the system itself
- 5. What is the essence of OOP?
- 6. objects + late binding
- 7. objects!
- 8. objects!
- 9. late binding
- 10. Late binding The fact that the “procedure” to be executed depends on the object on which the computation is requested.
- 11. How to convey the object feel? • Live interaction • Using Inspectors • Talk and interact with objects • Programs are objects too
- 14. Even with the vocabulary • We send messages to objects. • We do not invoke methods!
- 15. Sending a message implies looking up for a method Object Node accept: name sendt: node1 msg
- 16. Simplicity and elegance • Syntax fits on a postcard! • Simple but complete object model
- 17. The complete syntax exampleWithNumber: x “A method that illustrates every part of Smalltalk method syntax” | y | true & false not & (nil isNil) ifFalse: [self halt]. y := self size + super size. #($a #a ‘a’ 1 1.0) do: [ :each | Transcript show: (each class name); show: (each printString); show: ‘ ‘]. ^ x < y
- 18. A Pure OO World Only objects! mouse, booleans, arrays, numbers, strings, windows, scrollbars, canvas, files, trees, compilers, sound, url, socket, fonts, text, collections, stack, shortcut, streams, …
- 19. Less is more! No constructors, no static methods, no operators No type declaration, no primitive types, No interfaces, no need for factory No packages/private/protected modifiers No parametrized types No boxing/unboxing Still powerful
- 21. Objects are instances of Classes
- 22. Objects are instances of Classes ! (10@200)
- 23. Objects are instances of Classes ! (10@200) class
- 24. Objects are instances of Classes ! (10@200) class Point
- 25. Classes are objects too ! !
- 26. Classes are objects too ! Point selectors ! ! !
- 27. Classes are objects too !

- 28. Classes are objects too ! Point instVarNames
- 29. Classes are objects too ! Point instVarNames >#('x' 'y')
- 31. Methods are all late-bound
- 35. 2 + 5 > 7 Yes + is a message sent to 2
- 36. 1 class
- 38. 1 class maxVal > 1073741823
- 39. (1 class maxVal + 1)
- 40. (1 class maxVal + 1) > 1073741824
- 41. (1 class maxVal + 1) class !
- 42. (1 class maxVal + 1) class > LargePositiveInteger
- 43. 1000 factorial >
- 45. 1000 factorial / 999 factorial
- 46. 1000
- 47. 1000
- 49. Three questions • Question 1: how to implement not • Question 2: how to implement or or ifTrue:ifFalse: • Question 3: Why these questions?
- 50. Booleans &, |, not, or: ,and:, xor: ifTrue:ifFalse:, ifFalse:ifTrue: ! 3 > 0 ifTrue: ['positive'] ifFalse: ['negative'] ! -> ‘positive’ ! ifTrue:ifFalse is sent to an object: a boolean!
- 51. How to implement not? • false not -> true • true not -> false
- 52. Let the receiver decide!
- 53. Not implementation Boolean>>not self subclassResponsibility ! False>>not ^true ! True>>not ^false
- 54. Check in the system
- 55. How to implement or? true | true -> true true | false -> true true | anything -> true ! false | true -> true false | false -> false false | anything -> anything
- 57. Ok so what? • You will probably not implement another Boolean classes in your live • So is it really that totally useless?
- 58. ! Message sends act as case statements
- 59. ! Message sends act as case statements • But dynamic and open • Can add a branch (define a subclass) • Branches can be defined in different packages
- 60. OOP: the art of dispatching Subclasses create your vocabulary
- 61. To be able to select we need classes Operation1 Operation2 Attribute Attribute Fat Class Class Operation A Operation B' Operation C' Operation Attribute B Operation C Vs.
