Yes, but this method of programming sucks, severely. This is why I am
wholeheartedly happy that FoNC are on the case. Unfortunately I don't know of
any other group of people who have both the insight and capability to do this
research.
Decades later and the Smalltalk and Self systems are STILL some of the easiest
environments to discover the intention of programmers, and to create new models
and expressions in code. Almost needless to say is that even though this is the
case, these systems are severely lacking. Who am I to judge, that I have
produced nothing that "doesn't suck"? I'm at present simply someone who is
calling it how I see it. All development begins with the awareness of a "lack".
;-) A real need in the beholder.
