  • gtoolkit

    Glamorous Toolkit is the Moldable Development environment. It empowers you to make systems explainable through experiences tailored for each problem.

  • Someone made a bridge between Pharo and Godot which looks pretty interesting. I've not dabbled in it myself yet, but they have a doc describing how it works: https://gitlab.com/chandler.justin.s/godot-talk-VM/-/blob/ma...

  • I watched the whole video, thank you for sharing!

    The bit towards the end (around 5 min mark I believe) where he gives the IDE (is that what you call it?) an input + output and asks it what message would produce the result he wants is pretty damn cool.

    The rest of it is "interesting" I suppose. I can imagine that, at the time, this sort of interactive/live visual environment was revolutionary. This would be 1972-1990's I think, and during those early years there was nothing even remotely similar, right?

    Towards the end Rapid Application Development (RAD) IDE's would start taking hold and then came the Pascal-powered heydays for a bit.

    I think that maybe just due to familiarity bias, I still prefer a text-based IDE which has hot-reloading and live eval results.

    Something pretty neat I use personally is an extension called "Quokka" which places the results of each line next to them, live as you edit (similar to a REPL)

    Jetbrains IDE's have a similar thing with "Worksheets" for languages like Kotlin, Python, Scala, and likely a few others. (Also "Metals" extension in VS Code can do this for Scala incredibly well)
