.... or perhaps you should consider moving away from coding! ;)

That's absolutely true!
I've tested it right now.
See my testing script:

|a b|

a := 1.
b := 3 * 2-6.

1000 timesRepeat: [a/b].

No, this is only one bug!

My modification

|a b|

a := 1.
b := 3 * 2-6.

1000 timesRepeat: [ [a/b] fork ].

Of course, you're right -
from the viewpoint of a programmer.

But for a user having no idea of Smalltalk
there are 1000 debugger popups.

Maybe that's the problem of Hank ;-)
