Re: block in recursion, Any cure for that kind of situation?

So am I right in thinking that if I get newCompiler, blocks will work as I would expect them to (like lambdas)?

If so, how do I get the most recent version? I remember there being something that has superceded squeakmap, but I can't seem to find it.

Squeak Smalltalk blocks are just similar enough to Scheme lambdas that I still fall into this trap, too.

(letrec ((carre (lambda (s1 s2 s3 s4 n)
                (if (> n 0)
                 (carre (segment s1 s2)
                        (segment s2 s3)
                        (segment s3 s4)
                        (segment s1 s4)
                        (- n 1))))))
