You are mistaken. This is exactly continuation passing style. The two arguments `if-found` and `if-not-found` are continuations of `lookup`. Note that their invocations are in tail position within lookup.

Isn't it amazing? ASN.1 seems like such a low bar to pass, and yet.

Very cool. Re that latter, you might be interested in https://tonyg.github.io/squeak-actors/ , which is similar (but not uniformly asynchronous).

Yep! Absolutely. Just like Unix VMs (and containers, etc.): recursive whole-system composition makes perfect sense. Smalltalk hasn't been taken in that direction yet by anyone, though, as far as I know.

Running the analogous ln -sf /dev/zero /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 will have an analogous effect on an "alive" Unix image. I mean, a Unix machine. :-) Incidentally, in the latest Squeak,

Preserves has an equational theory. It's untyped, though, like S-expressions, JSON and XML.

How does it decide whether two JSON values are equal? e.g. 1 vs 1.00 vs 1e0. ( https://preserves.gitlab.io/preserves/why-not-json.html )

It looks nice! But it's still missing a semantics. When are two values equal? When are they distinct? JSON and most other formats also have no real semantics. XML is a notable exception, with XML infoset defining a semantics for the sy

Not yet. I'm working on it. Status is that I can send and receive SMS, and make and take calls (though the audio doesn't work yet). GPRS/LTE is next on the list.

Another awesome thing about Squeak Smalltalk: the total amount of code I had to write for the on-screen keyboard was 234 SLOC :-)

Smalltalk is surprisingly OK to develop on the phone. I've written a little on-screen keyboard in Smalltalk (subject of my next blogpost; [1,2]), and it's just a naive qwerty layout, but it works OK for the short methods common to
