  • Just downloaded https://squeak.org/ to play around with this concept.

    I wonder if there is already a modern tool/suite for Node/Python inspired by Smalltalk...

  • pharo

    Pharo is a dynamic reflective pure object-oriented language supporting live programming inspired by Smalltalk.

  • Consider playing with Pharo [1], it shows how it can still use Git to store sources in background.

    There is LivelyKernel [2] but some versions are more file-oriented (like Lively 4 [3)

    Interesting. Just made me think of using a custom filesystem to navigate a codebase. Similar to: https://github.com/osnr/TabFS. I wonder if anyone has done this.
