Question

In the Io programming language, is there an equivalent to lisp’s apply function.

So for example I have a method to wrap writeln :

mymeth := method(
              //do some extra stuff

             writeln(call message arguments))
)

At the moment this just prints the list, and doesn’t evaluate it’s contents as if they were it’s own args.

Answer 1

Thanks to that person who suggested evalArgs (not sure where your comment went).

Anyway that has resolved for my situation, although unfortunately not in general I guess.

You can achieve what I describe by doing :


writeln(call evalArgs join)


This evaluates all arguments, and then joins the results into a single string.
