It looks nice, but I can't help but wonder why not go all the way to Smalltalk instead? helper := FileHelper new. "declare variable 'helper' via type inference" files := [] "empty array literal implies mutable" files addObject: (helper openFile: 'readme.txt'). "can group message in parens" files do: [ | FileHandle handle | "all objects are pointers, so no '*' needed" self log: 'File descriptor is %@', (Number)(handle fileDescriptor) ). self handle: closeFile ]. ^ 0 Of course, you'd still have to solve the lack of syntax for defining classes and methods, but there are a couple solutions to that problem out there already.
