if one gets to a point where every fundamental concept is only ever
expressed once, and everything is built from preceding fundamental concepts,
then this is a limit, short of dropping fundamental

This has been an interesting conversation. I don't like how it's hidden

So let's change it the next time the actual subject changes.
Loup.

I couldn't agree more.
text and files are just encoding and packaging. We routinely represent
the same information in different ways during different stages of a program or
system's lifecycle in order to obtain advantages relevant to the processing
problems at hand. In the past, it has been
But we haven't wanted to program in Smalltalk for a long time.
This is a crazy non-solution (and is so on the iPad already)
No one should have to work around someone else's bad designs and

I've been reading a few more documents, and it seems that the first
step towards having something like Frank at home would be to get hold
of a Moshi Squeak image.
For instance, in Implementing DBJr with Worlds we can read:

The following steps will recreate our demo. (Important:
Chris Ball, Michael Stone, and I have just written a short paper on Project
Nell, which should be of interest to this list:

The paper mentions TurtleScript (http://cscott.net/Projects/TurtleScript/)
which I've discussed on this list before.

Smalltalk's obsolescence (which isn't really the point), the Squeak plugin
