instanceVariables in traits smalltalk

Question

Is it possible to use instanceVariables when using traits in Pharo Smalltalk?

Trait named: #Personnel
uses:{}
category: 'Test'

and I would like to add some variables that other Classes can use from these traits. Is this possible in Smalltalk?

Answer 1

No. Traits are stateless composable units, which in plain means: no attributes, just methods.
