Once we see something like Pharo live update, it's natural to wonder how we update our Python programs faster. That is, it's natural to become a bit dissatisfied with what we have.
Maybe the most fruitful form of dissatisfaction arises when we don't have a clear notion of the way forward. This is how Leo was born two decades ago. I knew that I didn't understand Donald Knuth's huge literate programs, but I didn't know what would be needed. After months of confusion, I saw that webs were outlines in disguise. And Leo was born. And it's not just Pharo. Recent work highlights the problems with settings and startup. That's quite a different kind of dissatisfaction. True, we don't know the exact way forward, but we know the general direction. In short, there is great value in dissatisfaction. It suggests improvements. And there is great joy as well, because discovering creative solutions is a heck of a lot of fun.
