I think you can look at Smalltalk as being more or less the same as=20 Ruby. That is: - sequenceable collections (Array, OrderedCollection, ...) - maps (Dictionary, IdentityDictionary) - scalars of various kinds However, there's an often-used concept in Smalltalk that I'm not sure=20 how to best represent; that's the Set. I suppose this is really a map=20 with no values in the key/value pairs. --=20 Ned Konz http://bike-nomad.com GPG key ID: BEEA7EFE |
